Exegesis
The participle legontes {λέγοντες | legontes} introduces the content of their self-presentation in two short clauses, egō eimi {Ἐγώ εἰμι | egō eimi} and ho kairos ēngiken {Ὁ καιρὸς ἤγγικεν | ho kairos ēngiken}, the second using perfect aspect to present the expected time as already nearing completion.
In context — Luke 21:8
Then He said, “Keep watch so that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name , saying, ‘I am the one,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Do not follow them.”
