What was their counsel?

1.

Rashi, Targum Yonasan: Had he told you to do a matter that requires great toil, you would have done so. All the more so, you should do an easy matter!

Malbim: Had he told you to do a matter that requires great toil, you would have done so, because the Navi commanded. All the more so, you should do an easy matter - (a) because it is easy, and (b) this shows his power, to heal via an easy matter!
