Contextual Overview

²¹therefore Jesus said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come." ²²The Jews, therefore, said, "Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?" ²³And He said to them, "You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world; ²⁴I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins." ²⁵They said, therefore, to Him, "You—who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning; ²⁶many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world." ²⁷They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father; ²⁸Jesus, therefore, said to them, "When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak; ²⁹and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him." ³⁰As He is speaking these things, 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.
