Context of Acts 9:33
31So Messiah’s community throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had shalom and was built up. Walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, it kept multiplying. 32Peter went here and there among them all. He came down as well to the kedoshim living in Lydda. There 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.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-35Verses 32-35 Christians are saints, or holy people; not only the eminent ones, as Saint Peter and Saint Paul, but every sincere professor of the faith of Christ. Christ chose patients whose diseases were incurable in the course of nature, to show how desperate was the case of fallen mankind.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 32-43These verses describe Peter’s traveling ministry in Judea, especially in towns along the seacoast. As he traveled, God gave him power to do miracles.
