Exegesis
The indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} ‘to him’ immediately follows, placing the focus on the petitioner who had asked for healing.
This is further defined by the relative clause hon eipen autō ho Iesous {ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς | hon eî-pen au-tôi ho Iē-soûs}, in which the relative pronoun hon {ὃν | hon} links back to logō, and the aorist verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘said’ presents Jesus’ statement as a completed utterance that nonetheless continues to be trusted.
In context — John 4:50
Jesus said to him, “Go; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus had said to him, and he was going.
