Exegesis
The adversative particle all’ {ἀλλ᾽ | all} marks a sharp contrast, introducing the true source of His words: ho pempsas me pater autos {ὁ πέμψας με πατὴρ αὐτός | ho pémp-sas me pa-tḗr au-tós}, “the Father Himself who sent Me.”
Here the participle pempsas {πέμψας | pémp-sas} functions attributively to define the Father as the One who sends, while autos {αὐτός | au-tós} intensifies the subject, stressing His personal involvement.
In context — John 12:49
For I have not spoken from Myself, but the Father who sent Me, He Himself has given Me a commandment—what I should say and what I should speak.
