Acts 9:28-38

²⁸And hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem,

²⁹And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

³⁰But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³¹Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost.

³²And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

³³And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie.

³⁴Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord.

³⁶There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which she did.

³⁷And it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber.

³⁸Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them.
