SCRIPTURE

"And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise and make thy bed. And straightway he arose." — Acts 9:34 (ASV)

Makes you whole. Cures you. Peter claimed no power to do it himself. Compare to Acts 3:6, 16; Acts 4:10.

Make your bed. This would show that he was truly healed. Compare to Matthew 9:6; Mark 2:9, 11; John 5:11, 12.
