Contextual Overview

²¹ Jesus again said to them, I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins; and where I am going you cannot come. ²² The Jews said, Why, will he kill himself? for he says, Where I am going, you cannot come. ²³ And he said to them, You are from be- low, and I am from above; you are of this world, but I am not of this world. ²⁴ I told you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins. ²⁵ The Jews said, Who are you? Jesus said to them, Even though I should begin to speak to you, ²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you; but he who sent me is true; and I speak in the world only those things which I have heard from him. ²⁷ They did not understand that he spoke to them concerning the Father. ²⁸ Again Jesus said to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will understand that I am he, and I do nothing of my own accord; but as my Father has taught me, so I speak just like him. ²⁹ And he who sent me is with me; and my Father has never left me alone, because I always do what pleases him. ³⁰ While he was speaking these words, a great many believed in him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

As he spake these words,.... Concerning his being lifted up, or his crucifixion, and the knowledge the Jews should then have of him; of the excellency and divinity of his doctrine, of his mission from the Father, and of the Father's presence with him, and of his always doing the things that are pleasing in his sight; which were spoken by him with majesty and authority, and came with power:

many believed on him: as the Son of God, and true Messiah: faith came by hearing; Christ's hearers were of different sorts; some understood him not, and disbelieved, and rejected him; others had their eyes, and their hearts opened, and received him, and his words.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Many believed on him - Such was the convincing nature and force of the truths which he presented, that they believed he was the Messiah and received his doctrine. While there were many that became more obstinate and hardened under his preaching, there were many, also, who by the same truth were made penitent and believing. “The same sun that hardens the clay, softens the wax” (Clarke).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 30. As he spake these words, many believed on him. — The same sun that hardens the clay softens the wax. This discourse, which proved the savour of death unto death to the obstinate Pharisees, became the savour of life unto life to many of the simple-hearted people.
