People's Commentary (NT)
John 4:47
Besought him that he would . . . heal his son. Note that: (1) The
nobleman has already "faith as a grain of mustard seed" (Matthew 17:20
Luke 17:6) in Jesus; (2) that faith moves him to seek the aid of
Jesus; (3) to make sure of his help he comes in person, instead of
sending servants; (4) while he thought he could heal his son, he did
not comprehend that it could be done unless Jesus came to where he was;
(5) he thought it would be too late if the son died before his coming.
His faith way very imperfect.
