32 Then it happened that Peter, as he traveled around everywhere, came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
33 But he found there a certain man, named Aeneas, who was a paralytic, who had lain in bed for eight years.
34 And Peter said to him: "Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and arrange your bed." And immediately he rose up.
35 And all who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they were converted to the Lord.
36 Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which in translation is called Dorcas. She was filled with the good works and almsgiving that she was accomplishing.
37 And it happened that, in those days, she became ill and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 Now since Lydda was close to Joppa, the disciples, upon hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, asking him: "Do not be slow in coming to us."
