EEN DE di-DAS-kōn en mi-AI tôn sy-na-gō-GÔN en tois SAB-ba-sin
Exegesis
The locative phrase en mia tōn synagogōn {ἐν μιᾷ τῶν συναγωγῶν | en miâ tôn synagōgōn} uses a dative singular numeral with a partitive genitive plural to indicate ‘in one of the synagogues.’
The temporal idiom en tois sabbasin {ἐν τοῖς σάββασιν | en toîs sábbasin}, literally ‘in the Sabbaths,’ conveys ‘on the Sabbath’ and underscores the habitual observance of the weekly rest day. English renderings maintain the participial nuance as ‘was teaching’ and choose between ‘on the Sabbaths’ for formal fidelity or ‘on a Sabbath’ for dynamic clarity, placing adverbial phrases at the end to mirror Greek word order while ensuring readability.
