Context of Acts 9:35
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. And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. 36Now 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. 37And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
