“When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.”
Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name — the Passover festival draws crowds who witness Jesus' signs and respond with faith. The plural "signs" suggests multiple miracles beyond the one narrative explicitly recounted (Cana), indicating John's selective narration. Faith in Jesus' "name" (onoma) involves trust in his identity and power, not mere intellectual assent.
