Exegesis
The final clause kai eporeueto {καὶ ἐπορεύετο | kaí e-po-reú-e-to} employs the imperfect middle, portraying the man’s departure as an unfolding process that flows out of his faith. In translation, this aspect is represented by “he was going” in the more formal rendering and “he went” in the dynamic rendering, both preserving the sequence of belief followed by obedient action. The overall syntactic progression—command and declaration, decisive belief, and ongoing journey—shapes the theological emphasis on faith in Jesus’ word leading to obedient movement before any visible confirmation.
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.
