Exegesis
A second temporal clause follows, hōra ēn hōs hektē {ὥρα ἦν ὡς ἕκτη | hṓ-ra ēn hōs hék-tē}, with a nominative subject “hour” and a repeated imperfect ēn, while the particle hōs introduces approximation, “about the sixth.” This temporal framing sets the scene immediately before the direct speech.
In context — John 19:14
Now it was the Preparation of the Passover ; it was about the sixth hour, and he said to the Jews, “Behold, your King !”
