Whether one believes a testimony or the person themselves

John 4:39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. 40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his own word; 42 and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heardhim ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

Just noticed this from the text. But the many Samaritans who believed in the words of the woman are different from the many more Samaritans who believed Jesus' own words. So whether one hears a testimony about a person or hears the person himself makes no difference other than the venue.
