Aeneas was a paralyzed man whom Peter healed in Lydda, an incident that led many in the region to turn to the Lord. His name appears twice in Acts 9: Peter addresses him directly, 'Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you' (9:33), then the narrative reports he had been bedridden for eight years (9:34). The name is Greek, possibly indicating Hellenistic Jewish or Gentile background. His healing demonstrates apostolic power continuing Jesus' ministry and serves as a sign that draws a whole region to faith. He represents the physically broken whom the gospel restores.
