Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal prepositional phrase en ekeinē tē hēmera {Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ | En ekeínē tê hēméra}, which sets the scene by anchoring this episode to a specific day within the larger sequence of confrontations.
In context — Matthew 22:23
On that day Sadducees came to Him , saying that there is no resurrection, and they questioned Him.
