Bede : Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ heals you. Rise and make your own bed. He who had been cured of paralysis was immediately commanded to rise and make his bed, spiritually suggesting that whoever perceives the foundation of faith in their heart should not only shake off the torpor in which they previously lay fatigued, but also prepare good works in which they can rest. — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : Peter did not demand the man's faith, nor did he ask whether he wished to be healed; for the outward signs of his own power had not yet been revealed. It is therefore reasonable that the man's faith was not required. Nor did they demand the lame man's. Indeed the miracle became above all a comfort to many; for the man was notable. Just as Christ, when beginning his miracles, did not require faith, so neither did these. In Jerusalem their faith was naturally first awakened, so that even when Peter came his shadow might fall upon some of them. For many miracles occurred there. Here, however, this comes first. Some of the miracles were done to draw others to them, and others for the comfort of those who believed. [CHRYSOSTOM] — Commentary on Acts
