Peter, the good shepherd traveled around taking care of Jesus' flock. Peter spoke to a bedridden man named Aeneas in the name of Jesus. The man was healed by Jesus; he immediately got up. Those who saw Aeneas' healing turned to the Lord.

The believers in a nearby town named Joppa had been greatly blessed by a disciple named Tabitha. She especially cared for a community of widows. Then tragically, she died. The believers in Joppa sent for Peter to do something. The faith of the Christians in Joppa was amazing--they didn't give up, even in the face of death. Even though her body was prepared for burial, they believed that if Peter prayed for her, God would raise her from the dead. Peter got down on his knees and prayed. Then he spoke to the dead woman. She opened her eyes and sat up. He presented her alive to the believers, especially to the widows who were surely praying for a miracle. Again, the people put their faith in the Lord Jesus.
