And there he found a certain man named Æneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
Peter found Aeneas while visiting the saints, the believers, at Lydda in pursuance of his work, in the course of his ministry. Aeneas was a man at Lydda who had been confined to his bed for eight years with palsy, with paralysis, unable to rise through that long illness. Peter healed him through Jesus Christ by declaring that Jesus Christ maketh him whole, made him whole, and by commanding him to arise and make his bed. At that word Aeneas arose, rose, immediately.
All that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw the healed man and turned to the Lord. His healing was one of the marvelous, remarkable cures Peter performed at Lydda, including the healing of Aeneas after eight years confined to bed with palsy, and news of these cures led the believers in nearby Joppa to ask Peter to come to them.
