Context of Acts 9:35

33There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. 34“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up. All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. 36In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. 37About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed 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.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35And all - The mass, or body of the people.
