Acts 9:33-42

33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed. 34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.” Immediately he got up. 35And all who lived at 12Lydda and 3Sharon saw him, and they 4turned to the Lord.

36Now in 5Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called 6Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did. 37And it happened 7at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an 8upper room. 38Since Lydda was near 9Joppa, 10the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” 39So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the 11upper room; and all the 12widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the 13tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. 40But Peter 14sent them all out and 15knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “16Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling 17the 18saints and 19widows, he presented her alive. 42It became known all over 20Joppa, and 21many believed in the Lord.
