Exegesis
The following conditional construction employs Ei {Εἰ | Ei} plus the indicative eideis {ᾔδεις | ēi-deis} to form a second-class (contrary-to-fact) condition: “If you knew…,” implying that the woman in fact does not know.
In context — John 4:10
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God , and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
