Acts 9:32-43 Then after that, Peter traveled throughout the entire region until he came down to visit God's holy people who lived in Lydda. Note: This was a town on the west coast of Palestine.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³² Then after that, Peter traveled throughout the entire region until he came down to visit God's holy people who lived in Lydda. [Note: This was a town on the west coast of Palestine]. ³³ And there he found a certain man named Aeneas who had been [confined to his] bed, paralyzed for eight years. ³⁴ Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ is healing you, so get up and make your bed." And immediately he got up [out of his bed, completely healed]. ³⁵ When everyone who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him [i.e., that the man was healed], they turned [their lives over] to the Lord. ³⁶ Now at Joppa [Note: This was also a town on the west coast of Palestine, today called "Jaffa," and is now a part of Tel Aviv] there was a certain disciple named Tabitha (she was also called Dorcas, which means "Gazelle"). She practiced many good deeds and always gave money to poor people. ³⁷ But as time went on, she became [very] sick and [eventually] died. Her body was washed [by the women attendants] and placed in an upstairs room [during the mourning process]. ³⁸ And since Lydda was very close to Joppa, the disciples [at Joppa], hearing that Peter was at Lydda [See verse 32], sent two men there to urge him, "Do not delay your coming [here] to us." ³⁹ So, Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived they took him to the upstairs room [where Dorcas' body lay]. All the widows [i.e., her friends] stood near Peter, crying and showing [him] the coats and [other] clothing which Dorcas had made when she was alive. ⁴⁰ Then Peter asked them all to leave [the room]; he knelt down and prayed over her body, saying, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ Peter then reached out his hand and raised her up; he called the saints [i.e., God's holy people] and the widows [back into the room] and presented her [to them] alive. ⁴² And this [miracle] became known throughout all of Joppa and many people believed in [Jesus as] the Lord. ⁴³ And Peter lived for some time in Joppa with Simon, who was an [animal hide] tanner.
