[32] And  it came  Peter  passed throughout  all  quarters, he came down  also  to  the saints  which  dwelt  at Lydda.  [33] And  there  he found  a certain  man  named  Aeneas,  which had kept  his bed  eight  years,  and  sick of the palsy.  [34] And  Peter  said  unto him,  Aeneas,  Jesus  Christ  whole:  arise,  and  thy  bed.  And  he arose  immediately.  [35] And  all  that dwelt  at Lydda  and  Saron  him,  and  turned  to  the Lord.  [36] Now  at  Joppa  a certain  disciple  named  Tabitha,  which  by interpretation  is called  Dorcas:  this woman  full  of good  works  and  almsdeeds  which  she did.  [37] And  it came to pass  in  those  days,  that she was sick,  and died:  whom when  they  had washed,  they laid  her in  an upper chamber.  [38] And  Lydda  was nigh  to Joppa,  and the disciples  had heard  that  Peter  there,  they sent  unto  him  two  men,  desiring  not  delay  to come  to  them.  [39] Then  Peter  arose  and went with  them.  When he  was come,  they brought him  into  the upper chamber:  and  all  the widows  stood by  him  weeping,  and  shewing  the coats  and  garments  which  Dorcas  made,  with  them.  [40] But  Peter  put  them all  forth,  and kneeled down,  and prayed;  and  turning  him to  the body  said,  Tabitha,  arise.  And  she opened  her  eyes:  and  Peter,  she sat up.  [41] And  he gave  her  his hand,  her  up,  and  when he had called  the saints  and  widows,  presented  her  alive.  [42] And  it was  known  throughout  all  Joppa;  and  many  believed  in  the Lord.
