B.Having read the passage in both formal and functional translation, list at least 2 similarities and 3 differences between the way both translations cover this story. You may list as many similarities and differences that you find as long as you meet the minimum amount. 1.Similarity – Both translations specifically list Joppa as the city where Tabitha lives. 2.Similarity – Both translations say that Peter kneeled beside her and prayed. 3.Difference – The NIV says her name is Tabitha, but it is Dorcas in Greek. The KJV doesn’t specifically list the language from which it (Tabitha) is translated. 4.Difference – In the NIV , it quotes the two men as saying, “Please come at once!” The KJV speaks a general statement saying that they ‘[desired] him that he would not delay to come to them.’
5.Difference - When Tabitha was risen, the KJV says Peter called the saints and widows. The ESV says he called believers and especially widows. C. Identify the basic elements of the story you are studying

2.Plot: (50-100 words)
Tabitha (or Dorcas) helped the poor by her charitable deeds. One day, she sickened and passed away. Since Peter was nearby, two men were sent to fetch him. When he came, he was shown all the items Tabitha had made by the weeping widows. Peter prayed at her bedside and said ‘Tabitha, arise’ to her. She was presented to the believers. Many believed because of it. Peter stays in Joppa with Simon the tanner. 3. Story structure: (50-100 words)
