Aeneas (Bible)

Section of Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabitha by Masolino da Panicale, 1425.

Aeneas is a character in the New Testament. 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 story is followed by an account of the raising of Dorcas.
