The witness reads ἡμέραν in John 1:39 within the sequence, παρ' αὐτῷ ἔμειναν τὴν ἡμέραν ἐκείνην.

The lexical item is ἡμέρα, 'day', a common noun for daytime, a civil day, or a broader time reference depending on context.

Here the accusative singular with article and demonstrative naturally fits a duration or time span after the verb remained, so the phrase communicates the length of their stay.

The verse says the disciples accepted Jesus' invitation, went with him, saw where he stayed, and remained with him for that day.

This use fits ordinary narrative Greek where time words in the accusative can mark duration without needing special emphasis beyond the story itself.

For translation and teaching, the form supports wording such as 'they stayed with him that day' or 'they remained with him for that day.'

Do not derive a hidden doctrinal claim, a technical temporal theory, or a different lemma from this case form alone.
