Exegesis
The adverbial temporal phrase eti mikron chronon {ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον | é-ti mi-kròn khró-non} ‘yet a little time’ is fronted to heighten urgency, before introducing the subject–verb–complement sequence to phos en humin estin {τὸ φῶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν | tò phôs en hu-mîn é-stin} ‘the light is among you’.
In context — John 12:35
Then Jesus said to them, “Yet a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light , so that darkness will not overtake you. And the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.”
