Exegesis
The particle an {ἂν | àn} combined with the aorist epraxa {ἔπραξα | é-prax-a} forms a potential construction (“would have obtained”), underscoring the missed opportunity for faithful increase.
In context — Luke 19:23
And why did you not put my silver in the bank, so that when I came, I might have collected it with interest ?
