Exegesis
The adversative alla {ἀλλὰ | al-lá} introduces contrast, while kathos {καθὼς | ka-thṓs} sets Jesus’ speech in exact correspondence with the Father’s instruction.
In context — John 8:28
Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am, and I do nothing from Myself; but just as the Father taught Me, I speak these things.”
