Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō topō {ἐν τῷ τόπῳ | en tō tó-pō} specifies the location of that crowd and thus the context for Jesus’ withdrawal. In English, the sentence is reshaped into a single complex sentence with clear causal connectors (“for,” “since,” “because”) to mirror the Greek logic and to link the healed man’s lack of knowledge directly to Jesus’ discreet departure amid the crowd.
In context — John 5:13
But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd in that place.
