‏ John 13:20

 Whomsoever I send ( αν τινα πεμψω ). More precisely, "If I send any one" (third-class condition,  αν=εαν and  τινα, indefinite pronoun accusative case, object of  πεμψω, first aorist active subjunctive of  πεμπω, to send). This use of  ε τις or  εαν τις (if any one) is very much like the indefinite relative  οστις and  ος αν (or  εαν ), but the idiom is different. In Mr 8:34f. we have both  ε τις θελε and  ος εαν while in Joh 14:13f. we find  οτ αν and  εαν τ (Robertson, Grammar, p. 956).
