<p> (Αἰνέας) </p> <p> The name occurs only once in the [[Nt]] (&nbsp;Acts 9:33-34). The person so called was a dweller in [[Lydda]] or Lod, a town on the plain of [[Sharon]] about ten miles south of Joppa, to which many of the [[Christians]] had fied after the persecution which dispersed the apostles and the church of Jerusalem. On a visit of St. Peter to the place, aeneas, who had for eight years been confined to bed as a paralytic, was healed by the Apostle. The cure seems to have had a very remarkable influence in the district, causing many of the dwellers in Sharon and Lydda to accept Christianity. Nothing further is known of the man. Probably he became a [[Christian]] at the date of his cure. </p> <p> [[W.]] [[F.]] Boyd. </p>
