Acts 9:32-41

32Now as Peter was traveling around from place to place, he also came down to the saints who lived in Lydda.

33He found there a man named Aeneas who had been confined to a mattress for eight years because he was paralyzed.

34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Get up and make your own bed!” And immediately he got up.

35All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

36Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which in translation means Dorcas). She was continually doing good deeds and acts of charity.

37At that time she became sick and died. When they had washed her body, they placed it in an upstairs room.

38Because Lydda was near Joppa, when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Come to us without delay.”

39So Peter got up and went with them, and when he arrived they brought him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him the tunics and other clothing Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

40But Peter sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” Then she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

41He gave her his hand and helped her get up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her alive.
