32

AsG1096 PeterG4074 traveledG1330 throughoutG1223 the area, he went toG2532G2718G4314 visit theG3588 saintsG40 in LyddaG3069. 33ThereG1563 he foundG2147 aG5100 manG444 namedG3686 AeneasG132 whoG3739 had beenG1510 paralyzedG3886 and bedriddenG2621G1909G2895 forG1537 eightG3638 yearsG2094. 34“AeneasG132,” PeterG4074 saidG2036 to himG846, “JesusG2424 ChristG5547 healsG2390 youG4771! Get upG450 andG2532 put away your matG4766G4572.” ImmediatelyG2112 Aeneas got upG450, 35andG2532 allG3956 whoG3588 lived inG2730 LyddaG3069 andG2532 SharonG4565 sawG3708 himG846 and turnedG1994 toG1909 theG3588 LordG2962.

InG1722 JoppaG2445 there wasG1510 aG5100 discipleG3102 namedG3686 TabithaG5000 (whichG3739 is translatedG1329 asG3004 DorcasG1393),1 whoG3778 wasG1510 alwaysG4160 occupied withG4134 worksG2041 of kindnessG18 andG2532 charityG1654. 37AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2250, howeverG1161, she became sickG1096G770 and diedG599, andG1161 her body was washedG3068G846 and placedG5087 inG1722 an upper roomG5253. 38Since LyddaG3069 wasG1510 nearG1451 JoppaG2445, theG3588 disciplesG3101, hearingG191 thatG3754 PeterG4074 wasG1510 there, sentG649 twoG1417 menG435 to urgeG3870 himG846, “ComeG1330 toG2193 usG1473 withoutG3361 delayG3635.”

39So PeterG4074 got upG450 and went withG4905 themG846. On his arrivalG3739G3854, they tookG321 him toG1519 theG3588 upper roomG5253. AllG3956 theG3588 widowsG5503 stood aroundG3936 himG846, weepingG2799 andG2532 showingG1925 him the tunicsG5509 andG2532 other clothingG2440 thatG3745 DorcasG1393 had madeG4160 while she was stillG1510 withG3326 themG846.

40ThenG1161 PeterG4074 sentG1544 them allG3956 out of the roomG1854. He knelt downG5087G3588G1119 and prayedG4336, andG2532 turningG1994 towardG4314 her bodyG4983, he saidG2036, “TabithaG5000, get upG450!” She openedG455 herG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 seeingG3708 PeterG4074, she sat upG339. 41Peter tookG1325 herG846 by the handG5495 and helped her upG450G846. ThenG1161 he calledG5455 theG3588 saintsG40 andG2532 widowsG5503 and presentedG3936 herG846 to them aliveG2198.
