“Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
He asked them the time when his son got better, and they said, 'The fever left him yesterday at one in the afternoon.' — the specific time reference (one in the afternoon) allows the official to correlate it with Jesus' word. This precise timing underscores that Jesus' word, not human agency or natural process, effected the healing.
