Exegesis
The causal clause hoti ēdē hēmerai treis prosmenousin moi {ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσίν μοι | hóti ḗdē hēmérai treîs pros-MÉ-nou-sin moi} explains the reason: they have remained with Him for three days, with the nominative time expression emphasizing the length of their stay.
In context — Matthew 15:32
But Jesus , having called His disciples, said, “I have compassion upon the crowd , because they have already remained with Me three days and do not have anything that they might eat. And I do not want to send them away fasting, lest they might faint on the way.”
