Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en ekeinē tē hemera {ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ | en e-kei-nêi têi hē-mé-rāi} ‘on that day’ specifies that the Sabbath coincided with the healing, preparing for the conflict over Sabbath regulations that follows. In translation, the series of coordinated clauses is preserved to retain the rapid narrative flow, while the temporal explanation “Now it was the Sabbath on that day” is kept as a separate sentence to mirror the Greek shift in focus.
In context — John 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.
