John 1:50

“Jesus answered and said unto him, etc.] Not as reproving him for his faith, as if he was too credulous, and too easily gave into the belief of Christ, as the Son of God, and true Messiah, upon these single expressions of his; but as approving of it, and surprised at it: because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? some read the words, not by way of interrogation, but as an assertion; “thou believest”, or “hast believed”, as the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Persic versions: thou shall see greater things than these; meaning that he should have larger discoveries of his person, nature, and perfections, and should see things done by him, much more surprising than any…”

“Because I said, &c.--"So quickly convinced, and on this evidence only?"--an expression of admiration.”
