Acts 9:23-10:32

32 Now as … who was paralyzed.

Acts 9:32–33 ESV

Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed.

And Peter said to him

Jesus Christ heals you

rise and make your bed

And immediately he rose

all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

Acts 9:36–38 ESV

Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.”

So Peter rose and went with them

And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room

All the widows stood beside him weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them

Acts 9:40 ESV

But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

And he gave her his hand and raised her up

calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive

And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord

And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner.

Acts 10:1 ESV

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort,

a devout man

who feared God

with all his household

gave alms generously to the people

and prayed continually to God.

About the ninth … to him, “Cornelius.”

Acts 10:3 ESV

About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.”

And he stared at him in terror

and said, “What is it, Lord?”

Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God

Acts 10:5–8 ESV

And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter. He is lodging with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.” When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among those who attended him, and having related everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

Acts 10:9–10 ESV

The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance

saw the heavens opened

something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth.

In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air

Acts 10:13 ESV

And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

14 But Peter said, … common or unclean.”

Acts 10:14 ESV

But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”

Acts 10:15 ESV

And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”

Acts 10:16 ESV

This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.

Acts 10:19 ESV

And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

the Spirit said to him

three men are looking for you

Rise and go down and accompany them without hesitation, for I have sent them.”

I am the one you are looking for. What is the reason for your coming

22 And they said, … have to say.”

Acts 10:22 ESV

And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man, who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear what you have to say.”

an upright and God-fearing man,

who is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation

was directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house

But, should he … punishment after death

God was not … with one another.

He was made … man was made

Thus the image … the whole world
