Exegesis
The causal hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the reason for their anger: holon anthrōpon hygiē epoiēsa en sabbatō {ὅλον ἄνθρωπον ὑγιῆ ἐποίησα ἐν σαββάτῳ | hólon ánthrōpon hygiê epoíēsa en sabbátō}, where holon 'whole' precedes anthrōpon 'man' to highlight total restoration. The repetition of en sabbatō at both the beginning and end of the verse creates a rhetorical frame that intensifies the irony between allowed surgical work and contested healing. The English renderings preserve the conditional structure, the purpose clause, and the emphatic focus on 'Me' and 'whole man' to retain the force of Jesus’ argument.

In context — John 7:23
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, are you angry with Me because I made a whole man healthy on the Sabbath?
