Acts 9:23-43 : King James Version
 
      	    23And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 31Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. 32And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. 33And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. 34And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. 35And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36Now there was at 
			Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is 
			called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which 
			she did. 37And it came to pass in those days, that she 
			was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an 
			upper chamber. 38And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to 
			Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent 
			unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to 
			them. 39Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was 
			come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows 
			stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which 
			Dorcas made, while she was with them. 40But Peter put 
			them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the 
			body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw 
			Peter, she sat up. 41And he gave her his hand, and lifted 
			her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her 
			alive. 42And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many 
			believed in the Lord. 43And it came to pass, that he 
			tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
