Exegesis

This participle agrees with ho archisynagogos {ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος | ho archisynágōgos} ‘the ruler of the synagogue’, marking him as the subject.

The causal particle hoti {ὅτι | hóti} ‘because’ introduces the reason clause: etherapeusen ho Iēsous {ἐθεράπευσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς | etherápeusen ho Iēsous} ‘Jesus healed’ on the Sabbath, where tō sabbatō {τῷ σαββάτῳ | tôi sabbátō} functions as a dative of time.
