Acts 9:31 — Acts 10:8

31 So then the church throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it was multiplied.

32 Now as Peter was passing through all those parts, he came down also to the saints dwelling at Lydda.

33 And he found there a certain man named Aeneas, who for eight years had been lying on a mat, for he was paralyzed.

34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Rise up and make up your own bed. And immediately he rose up.

35 And all those dwelling in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.

36 Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and alms which she did.

37 And in those days she became ill and died; and they bathed her body and laid it in an upper room.

38 Now because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there, and they sent two men to him, entreating him, Do not delay to come through to us.

39 And Peter rose up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him up into the upper room. And all the widows stood by him, weeping and showing him tunics and garments, all of which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

40 And Peter put them all outside; and kneeling down, he prayed; and he turned to the body and said, Tabitha, rise up. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

41 And giving her his hand, he raised her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.

42 And it became known throughout all of Joppa and many believed on the Lord.

43 And he remained a considerable number of days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.

CHAPTER 10
1 Now there was in Caesarea a certain man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort,

2 Devout and one who feared God with all his household, giving many alms to the people and beseeching God continually.

3 He saw clearly in a vision around the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying to him, Cornelius.

4 And he looked intently at him and became terrified and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

5 And now send men to Joppa and send for a certain Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

6 This man is lodging with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.

7 And when the angel who was speaking to him went away, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him;

8 And relating all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
