Acts 9:31-35

Living Bible

³¹ Meanwhile, the church had peace throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria, and grew in strength and numbers. The believers learned how to walk in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

³² Peter traveled from place to place to visit them,^[a] and in his travels came to the believers in the town of Lydda. ³³ There he met a man named Aeneas, paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.

³⁴ Peter said to him, “Aeneas! Jesus Christ has healed you! Get up and make your bed.” And he was healed instantly. ³⁵ Then the whole population of Lydda and Sharon turned to the Lord when they saw Aeneas walking around.
