‏ Acts 9:33

 Aenias ( Αινεαν ). Old Greek name and so probably a Hellenistic Jew. He was apparently a disciple already (the saint, verse 32). Luke the physician notes that he had been bed ridden for eight years. See on 5:15 for "bed" ( κραβαττου ) and 8:7; Lu 5:18 for "paralyzed" ( παραλελυμενος, perfect passive participle of  παραλυω with  ην, periphrastic past perfect passive).
