Acts 9:32-43

WPNT(i) 32 Now it happened, as Peter went through all those parts, that he also went down to the saints who were living in Lydda. 33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed—he had been lying on a pallet for eight years. 34 Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah is healing you. Get up and make your bed!” And immediately he stood up! 35 All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. 36 Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds that she kept doing. 37 But it happened in those days that she took sick and died; so when they had washed her they placed her in the upper room. 38 Now Lydda was near Joppa; the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him imploring him not to delay in coming to them. 39 So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making while she was with them. 40 So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up. 41 Then he gave her a hand and lifted her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. 43 So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
