In the Gospel of John, the word "believe" (Greek: "pisteuo") signifies a deep, personal trust and faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior. It goes beyond mere intellectual assent; it involves a relational commitment and reliance on Him for salvation. This belief is central to receiving eternal life and is often linked to the themes of light, truth, and spiritual rebirth throughout the text.
The word "believe" is found 75 times in the NIV Bible's Gospel of John.
"In the beginning was the word": the opening of the Gospel of John in the Vulgate translation.

A:There are two different genealogies of Jesus, in Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel. We know that the author of John knew the version in Luke because it has been established that the author of John based his gospel loosely on Luke's Gospel. That he did not use that genealogy suggests he did not consider it important, did not believe it or felt that it did not suit the Jesus he wished to portray in John's Gospel. Whereas Luke portrays Jesus as the human son of God from conception, John portrays him as divine and pre-existing. Verse 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." It is not hard to realise that the author thought the idea of a human genealogy was too profane for this concept. John's emphasis was to be on the divinity of Jesus, not a claim to be the Jewish messiah based on a supposed descent from King David.
