Acts 9:28-38

²⁸And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,

²⁹Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.

³⁰And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.

³¹And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.

³²And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.

³³And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.

³⁴And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.

³⁵And all those living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and were turned to the Lord.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.

³⁷And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.

³⁸And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.
