Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.

When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”

“They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.

that they may know that this is your hand; that you, Yahweh, have done it.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
