Acts 9:32-43

In prelude to the Gentile Pentecost, Peter heals Aeneas and raises Tabitha. These episodes continue to stretch Peter’s understanding and involvement in the gentile mission. Luke is likely contrasting these individuals with characters from Virgil’s Aeneid to highlight that the expansion of the kingdom of God brings life in contrast to the destructive expansion of the worldly kingdom of Rome.”
