Exegesis
The protasis begins with ei {εἰ | ei} ‘if’ and uses egnokeite {ἐγνώκειτέ | egnō-kei-te} ‘you had known’ to portray a past condition that did not reach its intended depth.
The apodosis is introduced by an {ἂν | an} ‘would’ and completed by ēideite {ᾔδειτε | ēi-dei-te} ‘you would have known,’ so the logic is reciprocal: true knowledge of the Son would necessarily yield knowledge of the Father.
In context — John 14:7
If you had known Me , you would have known My Father as well. From this moment onward, you already know Him, and you have seen Him.
