"Jesus does not do his works in order to evoke faith; he does them because he does the works of God. As works of God, the signs are witnesses to who Jesus is, and as such they call for faith. Both signs and words may lead to faith in Jesus, but they do so only when understood to be the work and word of God through him (3:2; 5:36; 9:3–4; 10:25, 32, 37–38; 14:10–12)."
From "Excursus 3: The Signs in the Gospel of John", final para. (PDF p82).
