Contextual Overview

⁵ When Jesus was going into the town of Capernaum, an army officer came up to him and said, ⁶ "Lord, my servant is at home in such terrible pain that he can't even move." ⁷ "I will go and heal him," Jesus replied. ⁸ But the officer said, "Lord, I'm not good enough for you to come into my house. Just give the order, and my servant will get well. ⁹ I have officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I can say to one of them, ‘Go!' and he goes. I can say to another, ‘Come!' and he comes. I can say to my servant, ‘Do this!' and he will do it." ¹⁰ When Jesus heard this, he was so surprised that he turned and said to the crowd following him, "I tell you that in all of Israel I've never found anyone with this much faith! ¹¹ Many people will come from everywhere to enjoy the feast in the kingdom of heaven with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ¹² But the ones who should have been in the kingdom will be thrown out into the dark. They will cry and grit their teeth in pain." ¹³ Then Jesus said to the officer, "You may go home now. Your faith has made it happen." Right then his servant was healed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. This answer of Christ's, which is short and full, not only shows the readiness of Christ to do good, how soon and easily he complied with the centurion's request, it being a prayer of faith, and so effectual, and was heard as soon as delivered; but also contains an absolute promise that he would heal him. He does not say that he would come and see him, and what his case was, and do what he could for him, as ordinary physicians do; but he would come and heal him at once: and indeed it is a proposal of more than what was asked of him; his presence was not asked, and yet he offered it; though Luke says, that he besought him by the messengers to "come and heal his servant"; and so this is an answer to both parts of the request; the whole is granted. Christ cannot deny anything to faith, his presence or assistance.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 8:7. I will come and heal him. — εγω ελοθων θεραπευσω αυτον, I am coming, and will heal him. This saying is worthy of observation. Jesus did not positively say, I will came and heal him; this could not have been strictly true, because our Lord healed him without going to the house: and the issue shows that the words ought to be taken in the most literal sense: thus understood, they contained a promise which it seems none of them distinctly comprehended. Foreseeing the exercise of the centurion's faith, he promises that while he is coming, ere he arrives at the house, he will heal him, and this was literally done, Matthew 8:13. There is much beauty in this passage.
