31
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in
the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 And
it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to
the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 And
there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years,
and was sick of the palsy.
34 And
Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes thee whole: arise, and make thy
bed. And he arose immediately.
35 And
all that dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 Now
there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is
called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 And
it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had
washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 And
forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter
was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to
come to them.
39
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into
the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the
coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 But
Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the
body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she
sat up.
41 And
he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and
widows, presented her alive.
42 And
it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43 And
it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
