This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? (Kai tis estin, kurie). The initial kai (and) is common (Mar 10:26; Luk 10:29; Luk 18:26). Probably by kurie he means only “Sir.” It usually comes at the beginning of the sentence, not at the end as here and Joh 9:38.
That I may believe on him (hina pisteusō eis auton). Ellipsis to be supplied before this final clause. He catches up the words of Jesus in the preceding verse, though he does not yet know who the Son of Man (or Son of God) is, but he trusts Jesus.
