Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros auton {πρὸς αὐτὸν | pròs autón} supplies the prior direction of that coming, and nyktos {νυκτὸς | nyktós} with to proton {τὸ πρῶτον | tò prôton} adds a temporal frame (“at night, the first time”), evoking the earlier private meeting without repeating the full earlier scene.
In context — John 19:39
But Nicodemus also came, the one who had first come to Him at night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litrai.
