Exegesis
The genitive sou {σου | sou} ‘your’ modifies marturian {μαρτυρίαν | mar-tu-rí-an} ‘testimony,’ and peri {περὶ | perì} with emou {ἐμοῦ | e-mou} ‘about me’ specifies its content. English word order smooths the Greek sequence from seeing to speaking to commanding to causal explanation while preserving the narrative intensity.
