Acts 9:32-43

Peter Heals Aeneas

32 Now it happened that as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he came down also to ^athe ¹saints who lived at ²^bLydda. 33 And there he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and make your bed.” Immediately he rose up. 35 And all who lived at ¹^aLydda and ^bSharon saw him, and they ^cturned to the Lord.

Peter Raises Tabitha to Life

36 Now in ^aJoppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated is called ¹Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and charity which she continually did. 37 And it happened ¹at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an ^aupper room. 38 Now since Lydda was near ^aJoppa, ^bthe disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, pleading with him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” 39 So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the ^aupper room; and all the ^bwidows stood beside him, crying and showing all the ¹tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. 40 But Peter ^asent them all out and ^bknelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “^cTabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up. And calling ^athe ¹saints and ^bwidows, he presented her alive. 42 And it became known all over ^aJoppa, and ^bmany believed in the Lord. 43 And it happened that he stayed many days in ^aJoppa with ^ba tanner named Simon.
