Acts 9:28-38

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

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,

³⁰and the brethren having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³¹Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

³²And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all quarters, came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,

³³and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name — for eight years laid upon a couch — who was paralytic,

³⁴and Peter said to him, 'Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose,

³⁵and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;

³⁷and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,

³⁸and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that place, sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.
