Acts 3:1-12 [Jerusalem, the gate called Beautiful: Peter
commands the lame man to rise up and walk, then begins to preach
“repentance unto salvation” to the onlookers, 3:12-26.]
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour
of prayer, being the ninth hour. [2] And a certain man lame from
his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate
of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them
that entered into the temple; [3] Who seeing Peter and John
about to go into the temple asked an alms.
[4] And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look
on us. [5] And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive
something of them.
[6] Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I
have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
up and walk. [7] And he took him by the right hand, and lifted
him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received
strength. [8] And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered
with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising
God.
[9] And all the people saw him walking and praising God: [10]
And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful
gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and
amazement at that which had happened unto him. [11] And as the
lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people
ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's,
greatly wondering.
[12] And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men
of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on
us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man
to walk?
Acts 4:29-31 [Jerusalem: The Apostles’ company prays the Lord to
“stretch forth His hand to heal.]
…And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy
servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, [30]
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and
wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
[31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they
were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy
Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Acts 5:12-16 [Jerusalem: Signs and wonders; people seek healing
from the passage of Peter’s shadow; a multitude from other
cities receives healing from the Apostles.]
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders
wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in
Solomon's porch. [13] And of the rest durst no man join himself
to them: but the people magnified them. [14] And believers were
the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
[15] Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets,
and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow
of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
[16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about
unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed
with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Acts 8:5-8 [Samaria: Philip’s mission includes healing.]
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached
Christ unto them. [6] And the people with one accord gave heed
unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the
miracles which he did. [7] For unclean spirits, crying with loud
voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many
taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. [8] And
there was great joy in that city.
Acts 9:10-18 [Damascus: Ananias restores Paul’s sight.]
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and
to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold,
I am here, Lord.
[11] And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street
which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for
one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, [12] And
hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting
his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
[13] Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this
man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: [14]
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all
that call on thy name.
[15] But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen
vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings,
and the children of Israel: [16] For I will shew him how great
things he must suffer for my name's sake.
[17] And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and
putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even
Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath
sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled
with the Holy Ghost. [18] And immediately there fell from his
eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and
arose, and was baptized.
Acts 9:32-35 [Lydda: Peter heals Aeneas of
palsy.]
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he
came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. [33] And
there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his
bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. [34] And Peter said
unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and
make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
[35] And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned
to the Lord.
Acts 9:36-42 [Joppa: Peter raises Tabitha from the dead.]
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which
by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good
works and almsdeeds which she did. [37] And it came to pass in
those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had
washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
[38] And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples
had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men,
desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
[39] Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they
brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by
him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas
made, while she was with them.
[40] But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;
and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened
her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
[41] And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he
had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. [42] And
it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the
Lord.
