Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee (dio oude emauton hciwsa prov se elqein). Not in Matthew because he represents the centurion as coming to Jesus.
Speak the word (eipe logw). As in Matthew 8:8. Second aorist active imperative with instrumental case, speak with a word.
My servant shall be healed (iaqhtw o paiv mou). Imperative first aorist passive, let be healed. Paiv literally means "boy," an affectionate term for the "slave," doulov (verse Luke 7:2), who was "dear" to him.
