Exegesis
The verse opens with a temporal clause introduced by hotan de elthē ekeinos {ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος | hó-tan dè él-thē e-keî-nos}, where hotan plus the aorist subjunctive marks a future event viewed as pending, and ekeinos gives emphatic, pointed reference to the coming subject.
In context — John 16:13
But when that One, the Spirit of truth , comes, He will conduct you into the whole truth; for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and the things to come , He will declare to you.
