12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ
from myself
Here, from is used to indicate the source of what Jesus spoke. See how you translated this phrase in 7:17. Alternate translation: “by my own authority”
Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ & Πατὴρ
the & Father
Father is an important title for God.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τί εἴπω, καὶ τί λαλήσω
what ˱I˲_/may/_say and what ˱I˲_/may/_speak
Here, what I should speak could refer to: (1) the manner in which Jesus should speak. Alternate translation: “what I should say and the manner in which I should say it” (2) the same meaning as what I should say, in which case the two phrases would be a doublet used for emphasis and could be combined into one clause. Alternate translation: “exactly what I should say”
