Σίμωνα, (Simona) in John 1:41: Noun Accusative Singular Masculine

Noun: this form names a person, and here it refers to Simon as a known individual in the sentence.

Accusative: the form usually marks a direct object or another object-like role, and here it fits the brother whom the finder reaches and names.

Singular: the form is grammatically singular in this occurrence, pointing to one person rather than a group.

Masculine: the noun belongs to the masculine grammatical class, which describes the form and does not by itself make a theological claim.

τὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν ἴδιον

The accusative is governed by the finding action in the clause, where the brother is the one found and then identified as Simon.

It functions as the appositional identification of the brother, specifying which brother is meant in the narrative.

It does not function as the subject of the clause, and the case alone should not be used to infer more than the sentence context supports.

High: The accusative noun names Simon as the brother found in the narrative.

Accusative personal name in the object phrase. identifies Simon as the person found, in apposition to the brother phrase. Attached to τὸν ἀδελφὸν ... Σίμωνα. Governed by εὑρίσκει. The case marks the found person in the narrative action; the apposition specifies which brother is meant.

Which brother is found in this sentence? The accusative name identifies Simon as the brother found.

Direct: The object phrase directly supports rendering that he found his own brother Simon.

The personal name specifies the brother in the object phrase and is not the subject of the action.

Personal name apposition creates another participant: The name identifies the same person as the brother being found.

The witness reads Σίμωνα in John 1:41 within the phrase τὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν ἴδιον Σίμωνα, καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ.

The lexical item is Σίμων, a proper noun for Simon, and this form simply presents that name in the accusative singular.

The case fits the brother phrase after the finding verb, so the grammar supports identification of the discovered brother rather than introducing a new role or meaning.

The verse reports that the man finds his own brother Simon and then speaks to him about the Messiah.

In this passage, the naming of Simon serves the narrative movement from finding to testimony, not a doctrinal point about grammar itself.

For readers and teachers, the form clarifies who is being singled out in the scene, helping the narrative sound concrete and personal.

Do not derive theology from the masculine case ending, and do not treat the form as changing the name or overriding the verse's narrative sense.
