Tabitha was a disciple at Joppa known for her charity and good works, whom Peter raised from the dead after the local believers sent for him following her sudden death (Acts 9:36-42). Luke gives her Aramaic name, Tabitha, alongside its Greek equivalent, Dorcas, both meaning gazelle, since her circle included both Jewish and Greek-speaking believers.
