In the 1st section of the tradition of the church of James
(1:21-2:17) is about healing miracles. In 1:21-28 Jesus is attacked. Here the basic question is asked: Can Jesus heal the sick person?
In 1:40-45 the question is varied and focused on the will: The sick person wants to be healed, does Jesus want to heal him or is he not interested in the suffering of the sick person?
Yes, Jesus wants to heal him (the reader already knows that he can do this from 1:21-28), the sick person gets well.
