Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
32. Luke setteth down how the Church was increased by miracles. And he reciteth two miracles: That a man who had been bedrid eight years, having the palsy, was suddenly healed; and that a certain woman was raised from death. First, he saith, that as Peter walked throughout all, he came to Lydda.
Peter's work was not to settle in one place but to visit many churches, confirming doctrine, conferring the Holy Ghost, and ordaining ministers. He went about doing good like his Master, always on the move, yet Jerusalem remained his head-quarters. The saints are not a few eminent ones but every sincere professor of Christ's faith.

Commenting on Acts 9:32-35
And there he found a certain man,.... In a house in that city, into which he entered: named Aeneas; which is a Gentile name, and so might the person be; though there is mention made of this name among the Jews. We read of one R. Samuel Bar, "Aenea, or Aeneas" (l); but it was more common among the Greeks.
