  [[Q]] "The dative is John's preferred construction when the object of faith is a thing (4:50; 5:47; 10:38). When the object of faith is a person, John may use the dative, or he may resort to pisteuō eis plus the accusative. (Believing the light, using the eis expression [12:36], is not really an exception, since the light refers to Christ.)" (Carson PNTC, 183)
