32 Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda. 33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately. 35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
Commentary
During this time Peter himself was also on the move, going throughout all parts of the country, seeking out disciples wherever they maybe. And so, during this time he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda, (a city also called Lod) which was northeast of Jerusalem. Now while there he found a certain man named Aeneas who had been be ridden for eight years he was paralyzed (vs. 33). Therefore, Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately Vs. 34 Now the effect of Peter healing Aeneas by the Holy Spirits power was that all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon (the neighboring coastal plains region), saw him, and seeing him healed they all turned to the Lord! Peters evangelic endeavors then were always ongoing even as he was ministering to saints wherever he found them.
