Acts 9:32-41

32Peter went here and there among them all. He came down as well to the kedoshim living in Lydda.

33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years—he was paralyzed.

34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Messiah Yeshua heals you. Get up and pack up your bed.” Immediately, he got up!

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

36In Joppa, there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translates as Dorcas). She was full of mitzvot and tzadakah, which she continually did.

37In those days, she became ill and died. When they had washed her for burial, they placed her in an upstairs room.

38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples—hearing that Peter was there—sent two men to him, begging him, “Please come to us without delay!”

39So Peter got up and went with them. When he arrived, they took him to the upstairs room. All the widows were crying, showing all the tunics and other clothing Dorcas had made while she was with them.

40But Peter sent them all outside, and he got down on his knees and prayed. Then, turning to the body, he said “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

41He gave her his hand and raised her up. Then he called the kedoshim and widows and presented her alive.
