Exegesis
The explanatory clause ou gar lalēsei aph’ heautou {οὐ γὰρ λαλήσει ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ | ou gàr la-lé-sei aph he-au-toû} denies self-originating speech, stressing that the Spirit does not speak independently.
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 context — John 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.
