Exegesis
The preposed phrase Apo seautou {Ἀπὸ σεαυτοῦ | A-pò se-au-toû} ‘from yourself’ places the question of origin at the front of the clause, making source and initiative the main issue.
In context — John 18:34
Jesus answered, “Are you saying this from yourself, or did others speak to you about Me?”
