ENEAS. - A paralytic miraculously healed by Peter at Lydda, according to Acts 9:33 ff. The name (Aineas), which is also found in Flavius Josephus (Antiq. Iud., XIV, 10, 22), was borne by a Jew, indicating that our figure was a Hellenist.
That he was already a Christian is very probable: he is found among the faithful of Lydda; there is no mention whatsoever of his conversion as a consequence of the grace obtained, whereas there is mention of the conversion of "those who saw" (v. 35); Peter addresses him as one to whom the person and the power of Jesus Christ were known (v. 34).
