It then describes Peter’s continued time in Joppa, Cornelius’ summons to Peter, and Peter’s vision of a lowered sheet of animals marked “unclean.” The narrative emphasizes divine guidance, renewed faith, and transformed understanding of what God cleanses.","57 Peter and the Power of Prayer  \nWritten by Edward Hughes [www.bibleforchildren.org](www.bibleforchildren.org) 57/60  \nEnglish Story Book  \nThe apostle Peter traveled all over the country to tell others about Jesus . One day, in a town called Lydda, he met a man who had been in bed, paralyzed, for eight years .  \n“Jesus Christ heals you,” Peter said.“Arise and make your bed.” The man got up immediately.  \nPeople who saw  \nthis turned to the Lord.  \nAt the nearby town of Joppa people were sad. A Christian lady called Dorcas hadjust died. Sadly her friends prepared her body for burial, then placed her in an upper  \nroom where they mourned together .  \nBut Dorcas' friends heard that Peter was in the area . They called for Peter to come to Joppa right away. When he came to that upper room, the widows showed him the tunicsand garments Dorcas had made for them . Everyone was crying.  \nBut Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said,“Dorcas, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.  \nThen he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints (Christians) and widows, he presented her alive . And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.  \nPeter stayed a long time in Joppa, in a house by the sea . One day Peter went upon the house-top to pray.  \nIf he had looked over the city walls, he may have seen three travelers coming to find him .  \nThese men were servants of a Roman soldier named Cornelius who worshiped God.  \nCornelius sent his  \nservants to  \nfind Peter because an angel told him in a vision,“Send for  \nPeter . He is lodging with Simon, a tanner whose house is by the sea . He will tell you what you must do .”  \nWhile Peter prayed on the house-top, God sent him a vision . It looked like a great sheet being lowered to the earth. On the sheet were animals and birds . Peter could tell that these were “unclean”. That meant religious Jews were not allowed to eat them . Suddenly, a voice came to him .“Rise, Peter, kill and eat.”  \n“Not so, Lord!” Peter told God.“For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” A voice spoke to him a second time .“What God has cleansed you must not call common.” This was done three times . And then the sheet was taken up into heaven again .","cbCaiaVsthWXhgG3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaVsthWXhgG3","pdf",1856837,1,25,"English","en",105,"# Peter Heals a Paralyzed Man\n## Healing and Turning to the Lord\n# Dorcas Restored in Joppa\n## Prayer and Revival\n# Cornelius Summons Peter\n## Vision of the Unclean Sheet","[{\"question\":\"What happened when Peter healed the paralyzed man in Lydda?\",\"answer\":\"Peter told the man, “Jesus Christ heals you,” and commanded him to arise and make his bed.
