Exegesis
The final verb `pisteusete {πιστεύσητε | pisteúsēte} ‘you may believe’` is the intended response; the subjunctive preserves purpose and expectation rather than mere possibility. The sentence therefore moves in a deliberate chain from present speech, to future fulfillment, to the disciples’ faith, with the predictive announcement itself serving as the ground for later belief.
In context — John 14:29
And now I have spoken to you before it comes about, so that when it comes about, you may believe .
