Exegesis
In the direct speech, ho poieis {Ὃ ποιεῖς | ho poi-eîs} ‘what you are doing’ frames ongoing intent, and poieson {ποίησον | poí-e-son} ‘do’ with tachion {τάχιον | tá-chi-on} ‘quickly’ issues an urgent directive.
Root and etymology
tachystau–alpha–chi–upsilon–sigma

In context — John 13:27
And after the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Jesus therefore said to him, “What you are doing, do quickly.”
