Exegesis
The closing phrase peri emou {περὶ ἐμοῦ | pe-rì e-moû} ‘about Me’ leaves Jesus as the final focal point, which heightens the rhetorical force of the question. In English, the compact Greek is best rendered as a two-source question that preserves the contrast between an inwardly generated statement and one received from outside voices.
In context — John 18:34
Jesus answered, “Are you saying this from yourself, or did others speak to you about Me?”
