Exegesis

The contrastive clause all’ hosa akousei lalēsei {ἀλλʼ ὅσα ἀκούσει λαλήσει | all’ hó-sa a-koú-sei la-lé-sei} ties speech to hearing, and the repetition of lalēsei reinforces faithful transmission rather than spontaneous invention.

In contextJohn 16:13

But when that One, the Spirit of truth , comes, He will conduct you into the whole truth; for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and the things to come , He will declare to you.
