Acts 9:32-42 Following Luke’s report of Saul’s collision with Jesus, he returns to Peter who happens to be in the towns of Lydda and Joppa. Both were small towns on the outskirts of Judea, west of Jerusalem. Luke’s shift in story from this unbelievable transformation of Saul to the quiet witness and miracles of Peter in Lydda and Joppa indicates the importance of God’s work in the shadows of society. The healing of Aeneas and the raising of Dorcas are sure signs that God is at work through Peter and the first followers in large ways and small.
