Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the content of what He previously said, followed by a conditional clause marked by ean {ἐὰν | e-án} with the aorist subjunctive pisteusēs {πιστεύσῃς | pis-teú-sēs} “if you believe,” expressing a real condition focused on a decisive act of faith.
In context — John 11:40
