Exegesis
The purpose clause eis tò érgon hò proskeklēmai autoús {εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ προσκέκλημαι αὐτούς | eis tò érgon hò proskeklēmai autoús} uses eis with accusative to indicate goal, with the relative clause grounded in the perfect verb proskeklēmai ‘have called’ to denote a completed divine summons with continuing effect. In translation, the genitive absolutes are rendered with temporal clauses, the aorist imperative with dynamic verbs of appointment, and the relative purpose clause closely linked to “work” to preserve its vocational nuance.
In context — Acts 13:2
While they were carrying out service to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Designate Barnabas and Saul for Me for the work to which I have called them.”
