Acts 9:32-43

JuliaSmith(i) 32 And it was Peter, passing through all, came down also to the holy ones dwelling in Lydda. 33 And he found there a certain man, Eneas by name, lying upon a bed of eight years, who was affected with palsy. 34 And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ heals thee; arise, and cover thyself. And he arose quickly. 35 And all dwelling in Lydda and Saron saw him, who turned back to the Lord. 36 And in Joppa was a certain disciple by name Tabitha, which interpreted is called Dorcas: she was full of good works and alms which she did. 37 And it was in those days, having been sick, she died; and having washed, they laid her in an upper room. 38 And Lydda being near Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in it, sent to him two men, beseeching not to hesitate to pass through even to them. 39 And Peter having risen came with them. Whom having approached, they brought into the upper room: and all the widows stood before him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, being with them. 40 And Peter having put them all without, having set the knees, prayed; and having turned back to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and having seen Peter, sat up. 41 And having given her the hand, he raised her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he placed her living before them. 42 And it was known through the whole of Joppa: and many believed upon the Lord. 43 And days sufficient he remained in Joppa with a certain Simon, a currier.
