And many
The phrase "And many" indicates a significant number of people. In the context of the Gospel of John, this suggests a notable response to Jesus' presence and message. The Greek word for "many" is "πολλοί" (polloi), which often implies a multitude or a large group. This highlights the impact of Jesus' ministry and the widespread nature of His influence. Historically, this reflects the growing movement of people who were drawn to Jesus, despite the opposition from religious leaders.

believed
The Greek word for "believed" is "ἐπίστευσαν" (episteusan), derived from "πιστεύω" (pisteuō), meaning to have faith or trust. In the Gospel of John, belief is a central theme, often associated with recognizing Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. This belief is not merely intellectual assent but involves a deep trust and commitment to Jesus. Theologically, this belief is seen as a work of the Holy Spirit, drawing individuals to faith in Christ.

in Him
The phrase "in Him" signifies the object of their belief, which is Jesus Himself. This is crucial because it underscores that their faith was not in a set of doctrines or teachings alone, but in the person of Jesus Christ. In the Johannine context, believing "in Him" is synonymous with accepting Jesus' identity and mission as the Savior. This personal trust in Jesus is foundational to Christian faith and salvation.

there
The word "there" refers to the location where this belief took place. In the context of John 10, this is likely referring to the region beyond the Jordan where John the Baptist had been baptizing (John 10:40). This geographical reference is significant because it connects Jesus' ministry to the preparatory work of John the Baptist. It also highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan, as those who had been prepared by John's message were now coming to faith in Jesus. Historically, this area was a place of spiritual awakening and renewal, making it a fitting backdrop for the belief in Jesus to flourish.

(42) And many believed on him there.--The word "there" is, in the best texts, in a position of emphasis. "And there many believed on Him." It marks the contrast between the rejection in Jerusalem and the reception at Bethania.
