Acts 9:32-39

New International Version

Aeneas and Dorcas

³² As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord’s people^(A) who lived in Lydda. ³³ There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been bedridden for eight years. ³⁴ “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you.^(B) Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up. ³⁵ All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon^(C) saw him and turned to the Lord.^(D)

³⁶ In Joppa^(E) there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good^(F) and helping the poor. ³⁷ About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.^{(G) 38} Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples^(H) heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”

³⁹ Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows^(I) stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
