The dative sabbatō {σαββάτῳ | sab-bá-tō} sets the time ‘on a Sabbath’, and the infinitive phagein arton {φαγεῖν ἄρτον | pha-geîn ár-ton} expresses purpose ‘to eat bread’.
In context — Luke 14:1
Now it happened that, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, they were observing Him.
