Goodspeed(i)
32 As Peter was traveling about among them all, he happened to visit God's people at Lydda.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, a paralytic who had been bedridden for eight years.
34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you! Get up, and make your bed!" And he got up immediately.
35 And everybody who lived in Lydda or in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Among the disciples at Joppa there was a woman named Tabitha, which is in Greek Dorcas, that is, gazelle. She had devoted herself to doing good and to acts of charity.
37 Just at that time it happened that she had been taken ill and had died, and they had washed her body and laid her out in a room upstairs.
38 As Joppa was near Lydda, the disciples heard that Peter was there, and they sent two men to him, urging him to come over without delay.
39 Peter went with them at once. When he arrived, they took him up to the room and all the widows stood around him crying and showing him the shirts and coats that Dorcas had made when she was still with them.
40 But Peter put them all out of the room. Then he knelt down and prayed, and then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, stand up!" She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her to her feet, and calling in the believers and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.
42 This became known all over Joppa, and many came to believe in the Lord.
43 So it came about that Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, at the house of a tanner named Simon.
