28. He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29. proclaiming boldly in the name of the Lord Yeshua. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30. When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
31. So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32. As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the holy ones who lived at Lydda.
33. There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralysed.
34. Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Yeshua the Messiah heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
35. All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36. Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tavita, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37. In those days, she became sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38. As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39. Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40. Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tavita, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
