It is not that she expresses her belief, in answer to His question, in the remainder of this verse. The answer is simply "Yea, Lord." Then she proceeds to give the foundation on which that answer rested. I believe that thou art the Christ.--The word means, "I have believed, and do now;" "I have convinced myself, and do believe."
