John7:31
Will he do more miracles? It was a common expectation that the Messiah would work many miracles. This opinion was founded on such passages as Isa 35:5,6, &c.: "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped; then shall the lame man leap as an hart," &c. Jesus had given abundant evidence of his power to work such miracles, and they therefore believed that he was the Messiah.
(b) "many of the people" Jn 4:39
