A Promise, Not a Possibility
Commentators emphasize that Jesus' response, "I will come and heal him," is a declaration of both His willingness and His divine power. He doesn't say He will "try" or "see" the servant, but makes an absolute promise to heal. This demonstrates that Jesus responds to faith with immediate compassion and sovereign authority.
