The purpose of miracles
Context:
Peter traveled teaching the scattered congregations.
[[Acts 9:32]]
We do not know the exact timeline.
3 year gap
Gal 1:16b-19...I did not immediately consult with anyone; nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days.
But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother.
As Peter was traveling he went to Lydda.
[[Acts 9:33-34]]

Why would Peter get called away from such a wonderful ministry?
[[Acts 9:36-38]]

Widows were crying.
They are telling Peter about the wonderful things Dorcas did.

Saints and widows
Of all the believers who died why did God raise up Dorcas?
