Simon

Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.

And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.

And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.

And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:

Now on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour:

So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.

But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.

Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.

And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word.

And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.

For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
