Peter heals Aeneas in Lydda, paralyzed for eight years.  
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.

Insights
  • Perhaps Aeneas did not seek out Peter for his healing, but he was willing to rise up, for he arose immediately.
  • News of this miracle was used to bring others to the Lord. Signs and wonders were often used to bring people to the Lord. Jesus did not require a certain set of Christian beliefs before healing could be had.
