The Healing of Aeneas

31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced [a time of] peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.

32 As Peter traveled throughout [the area], he went to [visit] the saints [in] Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas who had been paralyzed [and] bedridden for eight years. 34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately [Aeneas] got up, 35 and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him [and] turned to the Lord.
