Exegesis
The clause peritomēn lambanei anthrōpos en sabbatō {περιτομὴν λαμβάνει ἄνθρωπος ἐν σαββάτῳ | peritomḗn lambánei ánthrōpos en sabbátō} places the direct object 'circumcision' first, followed by the verb and subject, which foregrounds the permitted ritual act. The prepositional phrase en sabbatō 'on the Sabbath' identifies the contested time frame.

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?
