Exegesis
Inside the quotation, the clause hen ergon epoiēsa {Ἓν ἔργον ἐποίησα | hén érg-on e-poí-ē-sa} places the numeral hen ‘one’ first for emphasis, foregrounding the singularity of the action. The object ergon ‘work’ precedes the verb epoiēsa ‘I did’, a word order that keeps attention on the deed itself rather than on the doer.
In context — John 7:21
Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel .”
