Prayer while she was with them. 9:40Kefa put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tavita, get up!" She opened her eyes, and when she saw Kefa, she sat up. 9:41He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the holy ones and widows, he presented her alive. 9:42It became known throughout all Yafo, and many believed in the Master. 9:43It happened, that he stayed many days in Yafo with one Shim`on, a tanner. 9:40 shows that it was after prayer in private that Kefa called out to Tavita's dead body and commanded it to get up. And life was restored to it, and she lived again. Yah'shuah's words to his disciples were therefore being fulfilled, how they would do works as great and greater than those he Yah'shuah did, for Yah'shuah would do those works on their behalf.

Yahweh Pours Out The Holy Spirit On The Goyim Acts 10:1-11:18 reads, 10:1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 10:2a devout man, and one who feared the Mighty One with all his house, who gave alms generously to the people, and always prayed to the Mighty One. 10:3At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of Yahweh coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius!" 10:4 He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Master?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have gone up for a memorial before the Mighty One. 10:5Now send men to Yafo, and get one Shim`on, who is surnamed Kefa. 10:6 He lodges with one Shim`on a tanner, whose house is by the seaside." 10:7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually. 10:8Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Yafo. 10:9Now on the next day, as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Kefa went up on the housetop to pray, at about noon. 10:10He became hungry, and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance. 10:11He saw Heaven opened, and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet, let down by four corners on the earth, 10:12in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky. 10:13A voice came to him, "Rise, Kefa, kill and eat!" 10:14 But Kefa said, "Not so, Master; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." 10:15 A voice came to him again the second time, "What the Mighty One has cleansed, you must not make unholy." 10:16This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into Heaven. 10:17Now while Kefa was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Shim`on's house, stood before the gate, 10:18and called and asked whether Shim`on, who was surnamed Kefa, was lodging there. 10:19While Kefa thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men seek you. 10:20But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them." 10:21Kefa went down to the men, and said, "Behold, I am he whom you seek.
