Speak the word ( ειπε λογω ). As in Mt 8:8. Second aorist active imperative with instrumental case, speak with a word.

My servant shall be healed ( ιαθητω ο παις μου ). Imperative first aorist passive, let be healed. Παις literally means "boy," an affectionate term for the "slave," δουλος (verse 2), who was "dear" to him.

"Set" ( τασσομενος ). Genuine here, though doubtful in Mt 8:9 where see discussion of this vivid and characteristic speech of the centurion.
