Exegesis
The closing structure all’ ou ti egō thelō alla ti sy {ἀλλʼ οὐ τί ἐγὼ θέλω ἀλλὰ τί σύ | all’ ou tí egṑ thé-lō allà tí sý} forms a balanced contrast: two parallel clauses joined by adversative conjunctions, each with ti “what” as the object and egō/sy as the respective subjects.
In context — Mark 14:36
And He was saying, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
