Context of Acts 9:32
30And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 31So the church throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied. And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda. 33And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied. 34And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.

Commentaries on Acts 9:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32As Peter passed throughout all quarters - , Bp. Pearce thinks, should be translated, not through all quarters, but through all the saints.

Since the Crusades, it has been called by the…Read the comment

Peter healed a man named Aeneas and raised a woman named Dorcas from the dead. Jesus had promised that his disciples would do such works (John 14:12). Luke often tells stories in pairs. For example, he tells of a man being healed and then a woman being healed (see Luke 13:10–17; 14:1–6). In this passage…Read the comment
