Acts 9:33-38 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

33. There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been confined to bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed.

34. Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed.” He got up at once.

35. And all the inhabitants of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

36. Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated means Dorcas). She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving.

37. Now during those days she fell sick and died, so after washing her, they laid [her] out in a room upstairs.

38. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please come to us without delay.”
