23 Now as a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews planned together to assassinate him;
24 but their pact became known to Saul. And they were guarding the gates both day and night that they might assassinate him.
25 But the disciples took him by night and dropped him down through the wall, having lowered him in a basket.

26 Now when he came into Jerusalem, he was attempting to be joined to the disciples, and all were fearing him, not believing that he is a disciple. 27 But Barnabas grabbed him and led him to the apostles, and described to them how he saw the Lord on the road and that he spoke to him and how in Damascus he spoke boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 And as he was traveling into Jerusalem with them, he was speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he both was speaking and was debating together with the Grecian Jews, but they were undertaking the task to assassinate him.
30 Now when the brethren fully knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Therefore indeed, all the congregations throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace. They were being multiplied, being built up, and having conducted-themselves in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Now it happened, Peter, going through all the regions, also came down to the holy-ones, those who dwell at Lydda. 33 Now he found a certain man there, Aeneas by name, who was paralyzed and had been laying in his pallet for eight years. 34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Stand up and spread your bed for yourself. And immediately he stood up. 35 And all who dwelt at Lydda, and Sharon, saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Now there was a certain disciple in Joppa, Tabitha by name, which being translated, is called Dorcas. This one was full of good works and of charity, which she was doing. 37 Now it happened in those days, she, having been sick, died. Now having fully-washed her, they laid her in an upstairs-room. 38 Now Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, having hearing that Peter is in it, sent for him, encouraging him not to hesitate to come to them. 39 Now having stood up, Peter went together with them, those who had come to him, and they led him into the upstairs-room. And all the widows stood by him weeping and showing the tunics and garments; as many as Dorcas was making, when she was with them. 40 But when Peter cast them all outside; having placed his knees down, he prayed, and having turned again to the body, he said, Tabitha, rise up. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 Now he gave her his hand and stood her up, and summoning the holy-ones and widows, he presented her as living. 42 Now it became known throughout the whole of Joppa and many believed on the Lord. 43 Now it happened, that he remained a considerable number of days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
