ἐκ τ. πατρός (BC1LX) for παρὰ τ. π. (אActs 2) from John 16:17.

28. Note the change from παρἀ τ. π. to ἐκ τ. π. In John 16:27 ‘I came forth from’ refers to the temporal mission of Christ from the Father (John 17:8); here ‘I came out from’ includes the Eternal Generation of the Son (John 8:42). This verse would almost form a creed. The Son, of one Substance with the Father, was born into the world, suffered, and returned to the Father.
