Acts 9:32–43

³²And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.

³³And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.

³⁴And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee. Arise and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him: who were converted to the Lord.

³⁶And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁷And 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.

³⁸And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.

³⁹And Peter rising up went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him, weeping and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.

⁴⁰And they all being put forth, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes and, seeing Peter, sat up.

⁴¹And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.

⁴²And it was made known throughout all Joppe. And many believed in the Lord.

⁴³And it came to pass that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
