This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
53. ἔγνω. Recognised, perceived.
ἐπίστευσεν. Εἰς αὐτόν, i.e. as the Messiah: comp. Joh 4:42, Joh 1:7; Joh 1:51, Joh 6:36, Joh 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 (Joh 4:19), the man born blind (Joh 9:11), and Martha (Joh 11:21).
ἡ οἰκία αὐ. ὅλη. The first converted family. Comp. Cornelius, Lydia, and the Philippian gaoler (Act 10:24; Act 16:15; Act 16:34).
