Aema and Ona cried as they looked at their friend.
" I hear footsteps on the stairs" Lina replied.
Seima and a burly man who looked like a fisherman entered the room.
The Apostle Peter walked up to the bed.
" See the clothes she was making for the poor" Aema said in a sad voice as she pointed toward a corner of the room.
" Everyone please leave the room".
Seima and the three women quietly left.
Peter knelt down at the edge of the bed and began to pray. " Tabitha, get up" he said in a loud voice.
She opened her eyes, glanced around the small room and then sat up. Peter took her hand and helped her out of the bed. He yelled downstairs. " All of you can come back".
Seima and the women entered the room. In disbelief, they saw that their friend was standing next to the Apostle. Crying in celebration, they walked over and hugged Peter and their friend.
