Deeds (Act) of Apostles 9:26-38

²⁶And when he came into Jeru-salem, he assayed or attempted to join him to the disciples; and all dreaded him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

²⁷But Barnabas took, and led him to the apostles, and told to them, how in the way, he had seen the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he did trustily in the name of Jesus.

²⁸And he was with them, and entered, and went out in Jerusalem, and did trustily in the name of Jesus.

²⁹And he spake with heathen men, and disputed with Greeks. And they sought to slay him.

³⁰Which thing when the brethren had known, they led him by night to Caesarea, and let him go to Tarsus.

³¹And the church by all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, and was edified, and walked in the dread of the Lord, and was full-filled with comfort of the Holy Ghost.

³²And it befelled, that Peter, the while he passed about all, came to the holy men that dwelled at Lydda.

³³And he found there a man, Aeneas by name, that from eight years he had lain bed-ridden; and he was sick in the palsy.

³⁴And Peter said to him, Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heal thee; rise thou, and array, either make ready, thee. And anon he rose.

³⁵And all men that dwelt at Lydda, and at Saron, saw him, which were converted to the Lord.

³⁶And in Joppa was a discipless, whose name was Tabitha, that is to say, Dorcas. This was full of good works and alms-deeds, that she did.

³⁷And it befelled in those days, that she was sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in a solar.

³⁸And for Lydda was nigh Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was therein, and sent two men to him, and prayed, That thou tarry not to come to us.
