Acts 9:26-34
English Standard Version
Saul in Jerusalem
26 And (A)when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But (B)Barnabas took him and (C)brought him to the apostles and declared to them (D)how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and (E)how at Damascus he had (F)preached boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 So he went (G)in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he spoke and disputed against (H)the Hellenists.[a] But (I)they were seeking to kill him. 30 And when (J)the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off (K)to Tarsus.
31 So (L)the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And (M)walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, (N)it multiplied.
The Healing of Aeneas
32 Now (O)as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, (P)Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose.
