PETER HEALS ENEAS AT LYDDA AND RAISES TABITHA TO LIFE AT JOPPA. (Act 9:32-43)
as Peter passed throughout all quarters--not now fleeing from persecution, but peacefully visiting the churches.
to the saints which dwelt at Lydda--about five miles east of Joppa. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
To the saints - To the Christians.
Which dwelt at Lydda - This town was situated on the road from Jerusalem to Caesarea Philippi. It was about 10 or 12 miles southeast from Joppa, and belonged to the tribe of Ephraim. It was called by the Greeks Diospolis, or city of Jupiter, probably because a temple was at some period erected to Jupiter in that city. It is now so entirely ruined as to be a miserable village. Since the Crusades, it has been called by the Christians George, on account of its having been the scene of the martyrdom of a saint of that name. Tradition says that in this city the Emperor Justinian erected a church. |

Lydda
The Lod of the Old Testament (Ezr 2:33); about a day's journey from Jerusalem. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
As Peter passed throughout all quarters - Δια παντων, Bp. Pearce thinks, should be translated, not through all quarters, but through all the saints. The Churches having rest, the apostles made use of this interval of quiet to visit the different congregations, in order to build them up on their most holy faith. Of Saul we hear no more till Act 11:30, which is supposed to be about five years after this time; eight in all from his conversion. Peter, it seems, had continued in Jerusalem all the time that the Churches were in a state of persecution throughout the whole land. Great as he was, he never evidenced that steady determinate courage by which St. Paul was so eminently distinguished; nor did he ever suffer half so much for God and his truth.
To the saints - The Jews, who had been converted to Christianity.
Which dwelt at Lydda - A town in the tribe of Ephraim, almost on the border of Judea, and nigh unto Joppa: it was about ten leagues from Jerusalem, and was afterwards known by the name of Diospolis, or the city of Jupiter. |
32 And [1161] it came [1096] to pass, as [1330] Peter [4074] passed throughout [1330] [1223] all [3956] quarters, he came down [2718] also [2532] to [4314] the saints [40] which [3588] dwelt [2730] at Lydda [3069].
33 And [1161] there [1563] he found [2147] a certain [5100] man [444] named [3686] Aeneas [132], which had kept [2621] [1909] his bed [2895] [1537] eight [3638] years [2094], and [3739] was [2258] sick of the palsy [3886].
34 And [2532] Peter [4074] said [2036] unto him [846], Aeneas [132], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] maketh [2390] thee [4571] whole [2390]: arise [450], and [2532] make [4766] thy [4572] bed [4766]. And [2532] he arose [450] immediately [2112].
35 And [2532] all [3956] that dwelt [2730] at Lydda [3069] and [2532] Saron [4565] saw [1492] him [846], and [3748] turned [1994] to [1909] the Lord [2962].
36 Now [1161] there was [2258] at [1722] Joppa [2445] a certain [5100] disciple [3102] named [3686] Tabitha [5000], which [3739] by interpretation [1329] is called [3004] Dorcas [1393]: this woman [3778] [846] was [2258] full [4134] of good [18] works [2041] and [2532] almsdeeds [1654] which [3739] she did [4160].
37 And [1161] it came to pass [1096] in [1722] those [1565] days [2250], that she was sick [770], and died [599]: whom when [1161] they [846] had washed [3068] [846], they laid [5087] her in [1722] an upper chamber [5253].
38 And [1161] forasmuch as [5607] Lydda [3069] was nigh [1451] to Joppa [2445], and the disciples [3101] had heard [191] that [3754] Peter [4074] was [2076] there [1722] [846], they sent [649] unto [4314] him [846] two [1417] men [435], desiring [3870] him that he would [3635] not [3361] delay [3635] to come [1330] to [2193] them [846].
39 Then [1161] Peter [4074] arose [450] and went with [4905] them [846]. When he [3739] was come [3854], they brought him [321] into [1519] the upper chamber [5253]: and [2532] all [3956] the widows [5503] stood by [3936] him [846] weeping [2799], and [2532] shewing [1925] the coats [5509] and [2532] garments [2440] which [3745] Dorcas [1393] made [4160], while she was [5607] with [3326] them [846].
40 But [1161] Peter [4074] put [1544] them all [3956] forth [1854], and kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336]; and [2532] turning [1994] him to [4314] the body [4983] said [2036], Tabitha [5000], arise [450]. And [1161] she opened [455] her [846] eyes [3788]: and [2532] when she saw [1492] Peter [4074], she sat up [339].
41 And [1161] he gave [1325] her [846] his hand [5495], and lifted [450] her [846] up [450], and [1161] when he had called [5455] the saints [40] and [2532] widows [5503], presented [3936] her [846] alive [2198].
42 And [1161] it was [1096] known [1110] throughout [2596] all [3650] Joppa [2445]; and [2532] many [4183] believed [4100] in [1909] the Lord [2962].
43 And [1161] it came to pass [1096], that he [846] tarried [3306] many [2425] days [2250] in [1722] Joppa [2445] with [3844] one [5100] Simon [4613] a tanner [1038].
33 The children [01121] of Lod [03850], Hadid [02307], and Ono [0207], seven [07651] hundred [03967] twenty [06242] and five [02568].
30 Which [3739] also [2532] they did [4160], and sent it [649] to [4314] the elders [4245] by [1223] the hands [5495] of Barnabas [921] and [2532] Saul [4569].
