Peter had just seen Aeneas healed in Lydda where a large number of people were converted (Acts 9:32-35). They realised the awesome authority of Jesus Christ. About 15 miles away, in the Mediterranean seaport of Joppa, a much-loved believer called Tabitha had died. By recording her Greek name, it appears that Luke was hinting that Tabitha had previously converted to Judaism. Now she believed in Jesus as the Messiah. Hearing that Peter was nearby in Lydda, the believers sent two men to ask him to come quickly.
