Exegesis
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | allá} introduces the counter-assertion: tou pempsantos me {τοῦ πέμψαντός με | toû pémpsantos me} ‘of the One who sent Me’.
Here, the genitive tou pempsantos functions substantivally, with the participle pempsantos {πέμψαντός | pémpsantos} used as a title for the Sender, while the object me {με | me} maintains the Christological focus.
