and related fully to them how he saw the Lord in the way, and that he
spoke to him, and how he preached boldly at Damascus in the name of
Jesus. (28)And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,
(29)and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus; and was
speaking and disputing against the Grecian Jews; but they were
attempting to slay him. (30)And the brethren, learning it, brought him
down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
(31)The church therefore, throughout all Judaea and Galilee and
Samaria, had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the
Lord, and in the consolation of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.
(32)And it came to pass that Peter, going through them all, came down
also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda. (33)And there he found a
certain man named Aeneas, who had lain upon a pallet eight years, who
was palsied. (34)And Peter said to him: Aeneas, Jesus the Christ makes
thee whole; arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose. (35)And
all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him; and they turned to the
Lord.
(36)And there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which
interpreted is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works, and

upper chamber. (38)And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples,
having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men, entreating
that he would not delay to come to them.
(39)And 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 showing coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with
them. (40)But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;
and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her
eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up. (41)And he gave her his hand, and
raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her
alive. (42)And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed
on the Lord.
(43)And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with one
Simon, a tanner.
