Exegesis
The final clause tauta lalo {ταῦτα λαλῶ | taû-ta lalô} places the demonstrative first for emphasis, so the words spoken are presented as the very things received from the Father. Overall, the sentence moves from future revelation to self-disclosure, then to complete filial dependence, and finally to obedient speech as the outward proof of that dependence.
In context — John 8:28
Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am, and I do nothing from Myself; but just as the Father taught Me, I speak these things.”
