Exegesis
The date phrase tē hemera ekeine tē mia sabbatōn {τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ σαββάτων | tē hē-mé-ra e-keí-nē tē mi-á sab-bá-tōn} narrows the timing further and identifies the moment by Jewish day-counting as the first day of the week.
In context — John 20:19
Therefore, as evening was coming on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors remained shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and says to them, “Peace to you.”
