Exegesis
The apodosis uses the imperfect elegete {ἐλέγετε | e-lé-ge-te} with the potential particle an {ἄν | án} to express a hypothetical, repeated or characteristic action: ‘you would say’ to tē sykaminō tautē {τῇ συκαμίνῳ ταύτῃ | tê sy-ka-mín-ō taú-tē} ‘this sycamine tree.’
In context — Luke 17:6
And the Lord said, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."
