Aeneas (biblical figure)

Aeneas (Greek: Αἰνέας, romanized: Aineas) is a character in the New Testament.

According to Acts 9:32-33, he lived in Lydda, and had been a cripple for eight years.

F. F. Bruce suggests that Aeneas was "one of the local Christian group, though this is not expressly stated.

"[1] According to David J. Williams, there is some ambiguity in the Greek text of verse 34, which contains the phrase στρῶσον σεαυτῷ (strōson seautō) normally translated as "make thy bed".

The text would literally be rendered as Peter telling Aeneas to "spread for himself", which might not refer to his bedding, but something else he had been unable to do.
