This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Acts of the Apostles (New American Bible):

Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated means Dor=
cas).  She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving.=20

Now during those days she fell sick and died, so after washing her, they la=
id (her) out in a room upstairs.=20

Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, se=
nt two men to him with the request, "Please come to us without delay."=20

So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the r=
oom upstairs where all the widows came to him weeping and showing him the t=
unics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she wa
Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to her bo=
dy and said, "Tabitha, rise up." She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up=
.=20

He gave her his hand and raised her up, and when he had called the holy one=
s and the widows, he presented her alive.=20

This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord.=20

FOOTNOTE: 10 [36] Tabitha (Dorcas), respectively the Aramaic and Greek word=
s for "gazelle," exemplifies the right attitude toward material possessions=
 expressed by Jesus in the Lucan Gospel (Luke 6:30

hmmm....tis a good point!
