Exegesis
The aorist middle egeneto {ἐγένετο | e-gé-ne-to} ‘became’ introduces the change of state, with hygies {ὑγιής | hy-gi-ḗs} ‘healthy’ and the subject ho anthropos {ὁ ἄνθρωπος | ho án-thrō-pos} ‘the man’ forming a simple predicate structure.
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.
