Exegesis
The perfect tense lelalēka {λελάληκα | le-lá-lē-ka} presents His earlier teaching as completed yet still relevant, while erchetai hōra {ἔρχεται ὥρα | ér-khe-tai hṓ-ra} uses the present tense for imminent future to stress that the change is close at hand.
In context — John 16:25
I have told you these things in parables ; an hour is approaching when I will no longer use parables with you, but I will speak openly to you about the Father .
