Exegesis
In the direct question, sy {Σὺ | Sý} is placed first for emphasis, and pisteueis eis {πιστεύεις εἰς | pis-TEU-eis eis} presents belief as directed personal commitment toward the title huion tou anthrōpou {υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | hui-ÓN tou an-THRŌ-pou}. The verse therefore shifts from public rejection to private encounter, framing the question of Jesus’ identity as a personal response of faith.
In context — John 9:35
