Explanation
In the Bible, there are instances where people were raised from the dead. The question is asking which person was raised from the dead at Joppa. The options given are Lydia, Rhoda, Mary Magdalene, and Tabitha (Dorcas). To answer the question, we need to know the story behind it.
In Acts 9:36-43, we read about Tabitha, also known as Dorcas, who was a disciple in Joppa. She fell ill and died, and her body was prepared for burial. The disciples in Joppa heard that Peter was nearby and sent for him to come quickly. When Peter arrived, he went into the room where Tabitha's body was kept and prayed over her. Then, he said, Tabitha, get up. Miraculously, she came back to life, and Peter presented her to the other believers who were filled with joy and amazement.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D, Tabitha (Dorcas). She was the one who was raised from the dead at Joppa by Peter through the power of God.
