35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
35 And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
35 Everybody who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him walking around and woke up to the fact that God was alive and active among them.
35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
35 Then the whole population of Lydda and Sharon saw Aeneas walking around, and they turned to the Lord.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Acts 9:35
Commentary on Acts 9:32-35
(Read Acts 9:32-35)
Christians are saints, or holy people; not only the eminent ones, as Saint Peter and Saint Paul, but every sincere professor of the faith of Christ. Christ chose patients whose diseases were incurable in the course of nature, to show how desperate was the case of fallen mankind. When we were wholly without strength, as this poor man, he sent his word to heal us. Peter does not pretend to heal by any power of his own, but directs Eneas to look up to Christ for help. Let none say, that because it is Christ, who, by the power of his grace, works all our works in us, therefore we have no work, no duty to do; for though Jesus Christ makes thee whole, yet thou must arise, and use the power he gives thee.
