Aeneas
And Dorcas
52
As Peter Traveled about the country,
He
went to visit the saints in Lydda.
33
There he found a man named Aeneas,
A
Paralytic who had been bedridden for eight years
34
AENEAS,' Peter said to him,
'JESUS
CHRIST HEALS YOU.
GET
UP AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR MAT.'
IMMEDIATELY
AENEAS GOT UP.
35
ALL WHO LIVED IN LYDDA AND SHARON
SAW
HIM AND TURNED TO THE LORD.
In
Joppa there was a Disciple named Tabitha
(Which,
when translated, is Dorcas),
Who
was always doing Good
And
helping the Poor.
37
About that time she became Sick and Died,
And
her body was washed
And
placed in an upstairs room.
38
Lydda was near Joppa;
So
when the Disciples
Heard
that Peter was in Lydda,
They
sent two men to him
And
urged him,
'PLEASE
COME AT ONCE!'
39
Peter went with them,
And
when he arrived
He
was taken upstairs to the room.
All
the widows stood around him,
Crying
and showing him the robes
And
other clothing that Dorcas had made
While
she was still with them.
40
Peter sent them all out of the room;
THEN
HE GOT DOWN ON HIS KNEES AND PRAYED.
TURNING
TOWARD THE DEAD WOMAN,
He
said,
'TABITHA,
GET UP.'
SHE
OPENED HER EYES,
AND
SEEING PETER SHE SAT UP.
41
HE TOOK HER BY THE HAND
AND
HELPED HER TO HER FEET.
Then
he called the believers and the widows
AND
PRESENTED HER TO THEM ALIVE.
42
THIS BECAME KNOWN ALL OVER JOPPA,
AND
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVED IN THE LORD.
43
Peter stayed in Joppa for some time
With
a Tanner named Simon.
(Acts
9)
