45. Omit ὁ Ἰησοῦς after ἐποίησεν: comp. John 4:16; John 4:46; John 6:14; John 8:21.

45. πολλοὶ οὖν κ.τ.λ. The Greek is as plain as the English of A. V. is misleading, owing to inaccuracy and bad punctuation. Ἐκ τ. Ἰουδ. means of the Jews generally; of this hostile party ‘many believed;’ and these ‘many’ were those ‘who came and beheld’ the miracle. Many therefore of the Jews, even they who came to Mary and beheld that which He (see on John 6:14) did, believed on Him. Of the Jews who beheld, all believed. The reading ὅ for ἅ has the best authority though both are well supported: it is the last supreme miracle that is contemplated.
