After Stephen’s death, believers in Jerusalem face harsh persecution and scatter across Judea and Samaria, while Peter travels among them. In Lydda, Peter encounters Aeneas, paralyzed for eight years, and announces Jesus Christ’s healing, prompting instant recovery. Word spreads as people follow the Lord; the account then introduces Tabitha (Dorcas) in Joppa, noted for steadfast acts of help.","159 Peter Heals the Sick  \nActs 8:1; Acts 9:32-43  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n159 Peter Heals the Sick  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

The believers, except for the apostles, were all scattered to different places throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.  \nLater, Peter traveled from place to place. Onetime he came to the believers in the town of Lydda.  \nThere, Peter met a man named Aeneas who was paralyzed and had not been able to stand for eight years.  \nPeter said to him,“Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Stand up and roll up your sleeping mat!”Aeneas was healed instantly.  \nImmediately Aeneas stood up. Everyone living in Lydda and the plain of Sharon saw him walking and decided to follow the Lord.  \nIn the nearby town of Joppa, there was a woman named Tabitha, who they also called Dorcas. Dorcas was a believer. She was always doing good things to help people, especially the poor.","cbCaibMs83TMb2U2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibMs83TMb2U2","pdf",2796054,3,1,18,"English","en",105,"# Peter and the scattering of believers\n## Aeneas in Lydda and instant healing\n## Tabitha (Dorcas) in Joppa","[{\"question\":\"Who is Tabitha (Dorcas) in Joppa?\",\"answer\":\"Tabitha, also called Dorcas, is a believer in Joppa.
