Exegesis
The adversative conjunction all' {ἀλλʼ | all'} introduces contrast with erchetai hōra {ἔρχεται ὥρα | érchetai hṓra} ‘an hour is coming,’ a common eschatological marker.
In context — John 16:2
They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming when everyone who kills you will suppose he is offering service to God .
