Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the reason, where the adverb ēdē {ἤδη | ḗdē} ‘already’ combined with hēmerai treis {ἡμέραι τρεῖς | hēmérai treîs} ‘three days’ precedes the verb prosmenousin {προσμένουσίν | pros-ménousin} ‘they remain,’ highlighting duration.
In context — Mark 8:2
I have compassion for the crowd , because they have stayed with Me for three days, and they have nothing to eat.
