Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal dative phrase tē de mia tōn sabbatōn {Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων | Tē dè miâ tōn sab-bá-tōn} “now on the first of the week,” where the dative marks time and sabbatōn, a Semitic loanword, is used idiomatically for the weekly cycle rather than only the Sabbath day.
