The Public Witness in the Gospel of John

Pistio and pistus take on a fully new shade of meaning in that context, because they are not used very much in agrica roman devotion. And i think largely because there is this thise facts that do need to be believed, you need to have some sort of public witness so that people can know about it. The contrast of various characters within the gospel, where some are quite open about they et their thoughts about jesus. So mi see that the samaritan woman who goes and tells the her whole village what she's heard from jesus - compare that to the secret believers.
