John 5:46
Ye would believe me ( επιστευετε αν εμο ). Conclusion of condition of second class (determined as unfulfilled) with imperfect indicative in both protasis and apodosis and αν in apodosis. This was a home-thrust, proving that they did not really believe Moses.For he wrote of me ( περ γαρ εμου εκεινος εγραψεν ). De 18:18f. is quoted by Peter (Ac 3:22) as a prophecy of Christ and also by Stephen in Ac 7:37. See also Joh 3:14 about the brazen serpent and 8:56 about Abraham foreseeing Christ's day. Jesus does here say that Moses wrote concerning him.
