Exegesis
The conditional clause ean mē {Ἐὰν μὴ | e-an mē} ‘unless’ introduces a tightly controlled requirement, and the pair of aorist subjunctives idō {ἴδω | í-dō} and balō {βάλω | bá-lō} presents the demanded actions as hypothetical conditions rather than realized acts. The repeated prepositional pattern en tais chersin autou... eis ton tupon tōn hēlōn...
In context — John 20:25
Therefore the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord .” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the nail imprint, and put my finger into that trace, and put my hand into His side , I will by no means believe.”
