Exegesis

The verse begins with kai {καὶ | kaí} followed by eutheos {εὐθέως | eu-thé-ōs} ‘immediately’, fronting the adverb to highlight the suddenness of the result.

A new coordinated action follows with kai {καὶ | kaí} plus the aorist ere {ἦρε | ê-re} ‘took up’, governing the object ton krabatton autou {τὸν κράβαττον αὐτοῦ | tón krá-bat-ton au-toû} ‘his mat’, showing obedient response to the prior command (verse 8).

In contextJohn 5:9

And immediately the man became healthy, and he took up his mat, and he was walking. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.
