Exegesis
The indefinite relative hou ean poreuomai {οὗ ἐὰν πορεύωμαι | hoû eàn poreúomai} ‘wherever I may go’ leaves his destination open. The English rendering preserves the sense of tentative planning and communal support by maintaining the conditional tone of tychon and the indefinite scope of hou ean.
