Context of Acts 9:35
33There he found a man named Aeneas who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed. 34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your own bed.” Immediately he got up. And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. 36Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which when translated means Dorcas); this woman was excelling in acts of kindness and charity which she did habitually. 37But it happened at that time that she became sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upstairs room.
