Exegesis
The verse opens and closes with the same imperative pisteuete {πιστεύετέ | pis-teú-e-te} ‘believe’, creating a frame around Jesus’ appeal and reinforcing the urgency of response.
The final pisteuete {πιστεύετε | pis-teú-e-te} therefore functions as a renewed call rather than a new idea, so the whole saying moves from testimony to relationship to evidence.
