Exegesis
Duration of stay is expressed by the accusative hēmeran mian {ἡμέραν μίαν | hē-mé-ran mí-an} “one day,” and the phrase par’ autois {παρʼ αὐτοῖς | par' au-toîs} “with them” emphasizes fellowship with the local community. English renders the participial sequence with finite clauses and temporal markers to preserve clarity and narrative flow.
Root and etymology
hēmeraeta–mu–epsilon–rho–alpha
“day, daylight period”
In context — Acts 21:7
