Exegesis
The following relative–conditional clause ho ean ex emou ōphelethēs {ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς | hó eán ex emoû ōphelēthêis} specifies the scope: “whatever you might be benefited from Me,” with ho ean conveying an open-ended range of possible benefits and the aorist passive subjunctive ōphelethēs expressing potential future support that could have come from Jesus. Syntactically, this clause functions as the subject of the implied “is a gift,” indicating that resources originally available for parental care are being declared off-limits under the guise of a religious gift.
In context — Matthew 15:5
But you say, "Whoever says to his father or to his mother, 'Whatever you might have been benefited from Me is a gift ,'"
