Many "believed" in Jesus because of seeing the miracles He did in Jerusalem (John 2:23), but these two verses strongly imply that many of these "believers" were not true converts. Saving faith is more than merely to recognize the facts about Jesus, to simply acknowledge that He is the promised Messiah. Physical miracles may have convinced these men of Christ's Messianic status, but many of them seem not to have experienced that "miracle of the soul" called conversion.
