Analogies to Mythic Narratives

Now, there was in Joppa, a disciple named Tabitha, which translated means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her body, that's a burial preparation. They laid her in an upper room since little was near Joppa. The disciples hearing that Peter was there sent to men urgent, please come to us without delay. So Peter Rose and went with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all outside the room and he knelt down and prayed and turning to the body. I love that. Did you catch it? Luke says, look, Luke's at doctor. By the way, Luke is not arguing this point, turning to the body.
