As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.Peter said to him,“ Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.In those days, she became sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said,“ Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him,“ Feed my sheep.Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him,“ Follow me.”Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked,“ Lord, who is going to betray you?”Peter seeing him, said to Jesus,“ Lord, what about this man?”Jesus said to him,“ If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”This saying therefore went out among the brothers, that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but,“ If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”He took him by the right hand and raised him up.

Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,in which were all kinds of four- footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.A voice came to him,“ Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”But Peter said,“ Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”A voice came to him again the second time,“ What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him,“ Behold, three men seek you.But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”Peter went down to the men, and said,“ Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”They said,“ Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.But Peter raised him up, saying,“ Stand up! I myself am also a man.”As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.He said to them,“ You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”Cornelius said,“ Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour, and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,and said,‘ Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,saying,“ Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”But Peter said to him,“ May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”Simon answered,“ Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.

You shall be called Cephas”( which is by interpretation, Peter).On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him,“ Follow me.”Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.Philip found Nathanael, and said to him,“ We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”Nathanael said to him,“ Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him,“ Come and see.”
