Exegesis
Within the quotation, the nominative phrase He eme didache {Ἡ ἐμὴ διδαχὴ | Hē emḗ didakhḗ} ‘the my teaching’ uses anarthrous possession with article-plus-possessive to emphasize personal connection, yet this is immediately qualified by the negation ouk estin eme {οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὴ | ouk éstin emḗ} ‘is not Mine’.
