"Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those
who have not seen and yet have believed."
(20:29)

Sometimes we apply this to modern day responses to Jesus, but it is written in the
present tense. Jesus is suggesting some in that time who had not seen the resurrected Jesus...believed because of the testimony of the eye-witnesses.

"Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
(20:30,31)

We are not expected to have blind faith. John has presented plenty of reliable evidence.
