John 8:42

Εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Εἰ ὁ Θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλε.

RBT Hebrew Literal:

You never agape-loved myself

The Salvation said to themselves, "If the God was father of yourselves, you would have agape-loved myself,⁸⁶ for myself came out from the God, and have arrived. For neither have I come away from myself, except that one there sent away myself.

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
Then said Jesus to them, If God were your Father, ye had loved me: for I went forth from God, and came; for I have not come of myself, but he sent me.

LITV Translation:
Then Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I went forth and have come from God. For I have not come from Myself, but that One sent Me.

ESV Translation:
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.

"ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ" (ēgapâte an emé) is in the past tense in Greek. This was ignored and interpreted into a present tense "you would love" by every translation except the literal ones (cf. Young's Literal, J.P. Greenes LITV) .It is a form of the verb "ἀγαπάω" (agapáō), which means "to love," conjugated in the imperfect tense. The addition of "ἂν" (an) indicates a subjunctive mood, which, in this context, expresses a hypothetical or conditional action in the past. Therefore, the translation "you would have loved me" is the accurate translation.
