Exegesis
The verse begins with the conditional construction ei gar {εἰ γὰρ | ei gar}, where ei introduces a protasis of a second-class (contrary-to-fact) condition and the postpositive gar links this sentence logically to the preceding discourse by providing a rationale.
The prepositional phrase peri gar emou {περὶ γὰρ ἐμοῦ | pe-RI gar e-MOU} introduces the ground for the expected belief in Jesus, with the genitive emou specifying the content “concerning Me.”
In context — John 5:46
For if you believed Moses , you would believe Me ; for that one wrote about Me.
