Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the result clause iathē hē thygatēr autēs {ἰάθη ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς | iá-thē hē thu-gá-tēr au-tês} “her daughter was healed,” with apo tēs hōras ekeinēs {ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης | a-po tēs hō-ras e-keí-nēs} “from that hour” functioning as a temporal prepositional phrase marking the exact point at which the healing took effect. In translation, the participial construction is rendered with a simple narrative sequence “answered and said/replied,” the fronted adjective megalē is preserved by placing “great” early in the clause, the imperative is expressed either formally as “let it be done” or dynamically as “let it happen,” and the idiom “from that hour” is clarified in one rendering as “from that very hour” to communicate immediacy.
