32. And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33. And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.
34. And Peter said unto him, Æneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.
35. And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36. Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37. And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38. And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.
