Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis auton {εἰς αὐτὸν | eis au-tón} ‘into him’ uses eis with the accusative to portray belief as directed movement toward a personal object, namely Jesus, represented in context by the pronoun.
In context — John 4:39
And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who was bearing witness, “He told me all that I did.”
