Contextual Overview

5 And Jesus, entering into Capernaum, a centurion came near to Him, begging Him, 6 and saying, Lord, my child has been laid in the house, a paralytic, being grievously tormented. 7 And Jesus said to him, I will come and heal him. 8 And answering, the centurion said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only speak a word and my child will be healed. 9 For I am also a man under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this one, Go; and he goes; and to another, Come; and he comes; and to my slave, Do this; and he does it . 10 And hearing, Jesus marveled, and said to those following, Truly I say to you, Not even in Israel did I find such faith. 11 But I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven, 12 but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth. 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, and as you have believed, so let it be to you. And his child was healed in that hour.

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.
