New Testament
Aeneas
A paralyzed man in Lydda who was healed by the apostle Peter in the name of Jesus Christ.
Aeneas was a resident of Lydda who had been bedridden with paralysis for eight years. His healing by Peter serves as a demonstration of the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit in the early church. This miracle led to the conversion of many people throughout the region of Lydda and Sharon.
