Here, the phrase On that day introduces the next major event in the story, an event that happened on the same day as the teaching recorded in the previous chapter. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces an event that happened later during the same day. Alternate translation: “Sometime later that day”

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: “having come out”
