Acts 9:34 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. And Peter said unto him, Eneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole. The immediate presence and power of the glorified Redeemer, eclipsing almost absorbing the instrument by whom He worked, is strikingly expressed in these words. See the note at Acts 3:6.

Arise, and make thy bed, х strooson (G4766) seautoo (G4572), sc., krabbaton (G2895)] - not, "take up they bed," as once and again our Lord said to the bedridden (Mark 2:11, etc.), to evince the completeness of the cure (see the note at John 5:8); but 'spread' or 'sort thy bed'-an operation which would quite as effectually show the perfectness of his cure.

And he arose immediately.
