Acts 9:32-43 — Peter Heals Aeneas and Raises Tabitha

Acts.9.32-43

³²Now it happened that as Peter was passing through all those regions, he came down also to the saints living in Lydda. ³³There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden on a mat for eight years, as he was paralyzed. ³⁴And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and make your bed.” And immediately he got up. ³⁵And all those living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. ³⁶Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple named Tabitha, which translated means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity that she was continually doing. ³⁷Now it happened in those days that she became sick and died; and after washing her, they placed her in an upper room. ³⁸Since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Do not delay to come to us.” ³⁹So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him up into the upper room, and all the widows stood beside him weeping, showing the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was with them. ⁴⁰But Peter sent them all outside, and kneeling down, he prayed. And turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹Giving her his hand, he raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive. ⁴²This became known throughout all of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. ⁴³Now it happened that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain tanner named Simon.
