It took about 5 minutes to read this chapter. The last record in this chapter is around the resurrection of Tabitha. When I read the Gospels too often I forget that Peter was with Jesus when he was raising the dead. Peter shows that he learned from Jesus' example. When he came to Tabitha's body, he did not make a public spectacle of her resurrection. Just like Jesus had done, the restoration of life to this woman's body was a private matter to God. We also see that Peter took up the mantle of Jesus' authority; after his prayer he ordered life back into the disciples body, and it was so.
