Exegesis
Ouk ēn met’ autōn {οὐκ ἦν μετʼ αὐτῶν | ouk ēn met’ autōn} ‘was not with them’ uses the imperfect to present Thomas’s absence as an ongoing state, while hote ēlthen Iēsous {ὅτε ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς | hóte ēlthen Iēsoûs} ‘when Jesus came’ introduces the temporal boundary that ends that state. The aorist verb frames Jesus’ arrival as a decisive narrative event, and the verse as a whole slows the action so the reader feels the missed moment of appearance.
In context — John 20:24
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin , was not with them when Jesus came.
