‏ John 13:33

Little children ( τεκνια ). Diminutive of τεκνα and affectionate address as Jesus turns to the effect of his going on these disciples. Only here in this Gospel, but common in I John (1Jo 2:1, etc.), and nowhere else in N.T.

Yet a little while ( ετ μικρον ). Accusative of extent of time. See also 7:33; 8:21 (to which Jesus here refers); 16:16-19.

So now I say unto you ( κα υμιν λεγω αρτ ). This juncture point ( αρτ ) of time relatively to the past and the future (9:25; 16:12, 31).
