Commentary on Acts 9:34

Theological / Devotional

Jesus Christ. Note the care with which Peter avoids claiming any personal power to heal. He acknowledges only Christ’s ability to help the sufferer (cf. chs. 3:6, 12; 4:9, 10).

Maketh thee whole. Rather, “heals thee.” Use of the present tense suggests that the healing was immediate (cf. “he arose immediately”).

Arise. A command used by our Lord in similar cases (Matt. 9:6; John 5:8).

Make thy bed. He was to do at once for himself what others had done for him for so many years.
