In verse 44 “in general, “apo” meaning comes from the classical Greek donates motion from the edge or surface of an object while “ek” means “out, out of”; donates motion from within going out.

Perhaps even less forgiving with Christians, when speaking of Jesus of Nazareth the Rambam attempts to severe Jesus from the Jewish lineage, claiming that he is a Jew of virtue of his birth, and this alone, and casts him out for his false prophesying.
