Exegesis
A punctuation break introduces the direct speech, with Sabbaton estin {Σάββατον ἐστίν | Sáb-ba-ton é-stin} forming a simple equative clause, “It is the Sabbath,” which sets the legal-religious frame.
In context — John 5:10
Therefore the Jews were saying to the one who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath , and it is not lawful for you to take up your mat.”
