23 And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him:
24 but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him:
25 and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket.
26 And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord;
29 and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him.
30 And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
32 And it came to pass, that Peter going through all parts, came down also to the saints living at Lydda.
33 And he found there a certain man, by name Eneas, lying on a bed eight years, who was paralyzed.
34 And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ heals thee: arise, and take up thy bed: and immediately he arose.
35 And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon, whosoever saw him, turned to the Lord.
36 But there was a certain disciple in Joppa, by name Tabitha, who being interpreted is called Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
37 And it came to pass during those days, she being sick, died: and washing her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 And Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter is in it, sent two men to him, entreating him, Do not delay to come unto us.
39 And Peter rising up came along with them; whom, on arrival, they led to the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing him the chitoons and himations, so many as Dorcas made, while with them.
40 And Peter having put them all out, and putting down his knees, prayed; and having turned toward the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and seeing Peter sat up.
41 And having given her his hand, he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.
43 And it came to pass, that he remained some days in Joppa, with one Simon a tanner.
