Exegesis
The causal preposition Dia {Διὰ | dí-a} with the accusative phrase touton ton logon {τοῦτον τὸν λόγον | toû-ton tón ló-gon} forms an explicit reason clause, “because of this word,” grounding the ensuing miracle in her specific response. The demonstrative touton precedes the articular noun logon, giving deictic emphasis to her particular utterance in the immediate context.
