Acts 9:26-43.

Acts 9:26-43 (GNT)

26 "Saul went to Jerusalem and tried to join the disciples. But they
would not believe that he was a disciple, and they were all afraid of
him. 27 Then Barnabas came to his help and took him to the apostles.
He explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that
the Lord had spoken to him. He also told them how boldly Saul had
preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus. 28 And so Saul stayed with
them and went all over Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the
Lord. 29 He also talked and disputed with the Greek-speaking Jews, but
they tried to kill him. 30 When the believers found out about this,
they took Saul to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. 31 And so it
was that the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had a time
of peace. Through the help of the Holy Spirit it was strengthened and
grew in numbers, as it lived in reverence for the Lord. 32 Peter
traveled everywhere, and on one occasion he went to visit God's people
who lived in Lydda. 33 There he met a man named Aeneas, who was
paralyzed and had not been able to get out of bed for eight years. 34
"Aeneas," Peter said to him, "Jesus Christ makes you well. Get up and
make your bed." At once Aeneas got up. 35 All the people living in
Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord. 36 In Joppa
there was a woman named Tabitha, who was a believer. (Her name in
Greek is Dorcas, meaning "a deer.") She spent all her time doing good
and helping the poor. 37 At that time she got sick and died. Her body
was washed and laid in a room upstairs. 38 Joppa was not very far from
Lydda, and when the believers in Joppa heard that Peter was in Lydda,
they sent two men to him with the message, "Please hurry and come to
us." 39 So Peter got ready and went with them. When he arrived, he was
taken to the room upstairs, where all the widows crowded around him,
crying and showing him all the shirts and coats that Dorcas had made
while she was alive. 40 Peter put them all out of the room, and knelt
down and prayed; then he turned to the body and said, "Tabitha, get
up!" She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 Peter
reached over and helped her get up. Then he called all the believers,
including the widows, and presented her alive to them. 42 The news
about this spread all over Joppa, and many people believed in the
Lord. 43 Peter stayed on in Joppa for many days with a tanner of
leather named Simon."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.
