Peter heals Aeneas and raises Dorcas

AD 38Ussher date

Acts 9:32–43

Visiting the believers along the coast, Peter healed Aeneas, paralyzed for eight years, at Lydda, and at Joppa raised Tabitha (Dorcas), a disciple known for her good works, from the dead.

Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

Acts 9:40 (World English Bible)

The widows of Joppa showed Peter the coats and garments Dorcas had made. Peter stayed on in Joppa at the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea; there, a few days later, he would see the vision that opened the way to the Gentiles.
