Is there anything significant about the manner in which Aeneas is healed?

Acts 9:34 (ESV)

34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose.

The healing of Aeneas recalls a similar healing performed by Jesus Christ (Luke 5:17–26). As an apostle of Jesus Christ, Peter acts and behaves in the same manner as his Lord, making it clear that the power to heal comes from Jesus and not from Peter.1
