And when the messengers returned to the house
This phrase sets the scene for the miraculous outcome of the centurion's faith. The "messengers" here are the friends of the centurion, who had been sent to Jesus to convey the centurion's request for healing. The Greek word for "messengers" is "ἀπεσταλμένοι" (apestalmenoi), which can also mean "sent ones" or "apostles." This highlights the role of these individuals as intermediaries, emphasizing the centurion's humility and faith. The "house" refers to the centurion's dwelling, a place of authority and care, symbolizing the centurion's responsibility and concern for his servant.

they found the servant in good health
The phrase "in good health" is translated from the Greek word "ὑγιαίνοντα" (hygianonta), which means to be sound, healthy, or whole. This word is often used in the New Testament to describe physical healing, but it also carries a connotation of spiritual wholeness. The servant's restoration to health is a testament to the power of Jesus' word, even from a distance, and serves as a powerful witness to the centurion's faith. The centurion's faith is remarkable because he believed in Jesus' authority to heal without needing His physical presence, reflecting a deep understanding of Jesus' divine power. This miraculous healing underscores the theme of faith and authority that runs throughout the Gospel of Luke, illustrating that faith in Jesus transcends cultural and social boundaries, as seen in the centurion, a Roman officer, who is not part of the Jewish community yet exhibits profound faith.

(10) Found the servant whole.--Note St. Luke's characteristic use, as in Luke 5:31, of a technical term for "healthy" or "convalescent."

Verse 10. - Returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. Farrar suggests "convalescent" as a more accurate rendering than "whole." The Greek equivalent is one of the medical words we find in this Gospel of St. Luke. The words, "that had been sick," do not occur in the other authorities. They are omitted in the Revised Version.
