Acts 9 is the ninth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.It records Saul's conversion and the works of Saint Peter. [1] The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke.
The name "Acts of the Apostles" was first used by Irenaeus in the late 2nd century. It is not known whether this was an existing name for the book or one invented by Irenaeus; it does seem clear that it was not given by the author, as the word práxeis (deeds, acts) only appears once in the text (Acts 19:18) and there it refers not to the apostles but to deeds confessed by their followers.
According to Acts 9:32-33, he lived in Lydda, and had been a cripple for eight years. When Peter said to him, "Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat," he was healed and got up. F. F. Bruce suggests that Aeneas was "one of the local Christian group, though this is not expressly stated."
The Greek verb used in Acts 9:36 is διερμηνεύω, transliterated diermēneuō, which means "to interpret fully, to explain", and in this passage it is rendered "is by interpretation", which in context leads to the literal meaning: "Tabitha, meaning Dorcas" (i.e. 'gazelle'). [11] [12]
The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. (Acts 9:7) My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. (Acts 22:9) Likewise the NET Bible and others. By translating φωνή and ἀκούω differently in each case, the contradiction is disguised.
Simon the Tanner is mentioned three times in Chapters 9 and 10 of Acts of the Apostles of the New Testament. Firstly, Acts 9 records Paul's conversion and then recounts Peter's missionary activities. Peter visited Jaffa and raised Tabitha from dead. This account observes that "Peter stayed some time in Joppa with a certain tanner named Simon".
