Acts 9:39

"And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them" Nothing in the text reveals whether Dorcas was also. widow. McGarvey notes, "Here is the same tender care for the lifeless body, the same distress felt by all, the same desire for the presence of him who has been our religious counselor; the same company of weeping women and, beyond all this to which we are accustomed,. group of poor widows holding up before Peter as he comes in the tunics and mantles which Dorcas had made for them. What. memorial! How much richer and more to be desired than monuments of marble and bronze covered with flattering inscriptions!" (p. 196).
