Exegesis

The nominal clause tis hē kaine haute hē hypo soû lalouménē didakhḗ {τίς ἡ καινὴ αὕτη ἡ ὑπὸ σοῦ λαλουμένη διδάχή | tís hē kainḗ haútē hē hupó soû lalouménē didakhḗ} places the interrogative pronoun tis ‘what’ before its article–noun unit, highlighting the content sought. Modifiers around didakhḗ ‘teaching’—kaine ‘new’, haute ‘this’, and the participial phrase hupó soû lalouménē ‘being spoken by you’—emphasize its novelty and origin. The English arrangement “what this new teaching is that is being spoken by you” preserves Greek emphasis on both novelty and source.
