John 4:53

ἔγνω. Recognised, perceived.

ἐπίστευσεν. Εἰς αὐτόν, i.e. as the Messiah: comp. John 4:42; John 1:7; John 1:51; John 6:36; John 11:15, where, as here, πιστεύω is used absolutely. The growth of this official’s faith is sketched for us in the same natural and incidental way as in the cases of the Samaritan woman (John 4:19), the man born blind (John 9:11), and Martha (John 11:21).

ἡ οἰκία αὐ. ὅλη. The first converted family. Comp. Cornelius, Lydia, and the Philippian gaoler (Acts 10:24; Acts 16:15; Acts 16:34).
