OET (OET-LV) saying:
If you are the chosen_one/messiah, tell to_us.
But he_said to_them:
If I_may_tell to_you_all, by_no_means you_all_may_ not _believe,
OET (OET-RV) who demanded, “If you’re the messiah, tell us so.”

saying
It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “The elders said to Jesus”
εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ Χριστός, εἰπὸν ἡμῖν
if you are the Messiah tell ˱to˲_us
This sounds like a conditional statement, but it is actually an imperative. Alternate translation: “Tell us whether you are the Messiah”

Jesus is using a hypothetical situation to avoid answering the question directly, since that might give the elders a reason to say that he was guilty of blasphemy for claiming to be the Messiah. Alternate translation: “Suppose I said that I was the Messiah. Then you would certainly not believe me”
22:67-68 If I tell you, you won’t believe me: Jesus pointed out the hypocrisy of the question. They had already made up their minds that he was not the Messiah, so it would do no good to answer.
