Context of Acts 9:35

33In Lydda Peter found a man named Aeneas who was paralyzed and confined to a cot for eight years. 34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well. Get up, and pick up your cot.” Aeneas immediately got up. Everyone who lived in the city of Lydda and the coastal region of Sharon saw what had happened to Aeneas and turned to the Lord in faith. 36A disciple named Tabitha lived in the city of Joppa. Her Greek name was Dorcas. She always helped people and gave things to the poor. 37She became sick and died. Her body was prepared for burial and was laid in an upstairs room.

Commentaries on Acts 9:35

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35All that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him - Saron was that champaign country that lay between Joppa and Lydda.
