32 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he went down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedfast for eight years and was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ (the Messiah) makes you whole. Get up and make your bed! And immediately stood up. 35 Then all the inhabitants of Lydda and the plain of Sharon saw him and they turned to the Lord. 36 Now there was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was abounding in good deeds and acts of charity. 37 About that time she fell sick and died, and when they had cleansed her, they laid in an upper room. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa , the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him begging him, Do come to us without delay. 39 So Peter rose and accompanied them. And when he had arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, crying and displaying undershirts (tunics) and garments such as Dorcas was accustomed to make while she was with them. 40 But Peter put them all out and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, Tabitha, get up! And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she raised herself and sat upright. 41 And he gave her his hand and lifted her up. Then calling in God's people and the widows, he presented her to them alive. 42 And this became known throughout all Joppa, and many came to believe on the Lord . 43 And Peter remained in Joppa for considerable time with a certain Simon a tanner.
