Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis auton {εἰς αὐτόν | eis au-tón} ‘into Him’ expresses belief as directional movement toward and reliance upon Jesus, a distinctive Johannine way of portraying faith as personal commitment rather than bare assent. In translation, the genitive absolute is conveyed with an English temporal clause (“As He was speaking” / “While He was saying”), and the eis plus accusative is rendered as “believed in Him” and “put their trust in Him” to reflect this relational, entrusting dimension of faith.
