Zusammenfassung:The question of who truly believes according to John’s Gospel can be unclear, complicated by characters who display contradictory evidence, both portrayed positively yet also reflecting imperfections. A solution to the confusion lies in attending to the overt narration of the Gospel, which creates a distinction between events within the story and the presentation to the reader.

Only after the cross is ‘genuine belief’, (which includes greater understanding), possible.
