Context of Acts 9:35

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! All 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.

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. The long affliction of this man had been well known; and his cure, consequently, became a subject of general examination: it was found to be real.

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