Matthew Poole and continuators on John 4:50

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth . And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way .

Our Saviour would neither discourage the weak Faith of this Nobleman, nor yet incourage his weakness, he healeth his Son for the encouragement of his Faith, he doth it by his word, without going down to him, that he might not gratifie his weakness, thinking his Personal Presence was necessary; he bids him go, for his Son was recovered (that is here meant by liveth;)

upon this his Faith groweth, and he who before onely believed Christ to be a Prophet probably upon others hearsay, now believeth his word, that is, was persuaded that his Son was indeed Recovered.
