Acts 9:33

Aeneas
Sickness and healing

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.

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.
