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.
In context — John 8:30
As He was speaking these things, many believed in Him .
