Exegesis
The participle symbibázontes {συμβιβάζοντες | symbibázontes} in nominative masculine plural indicates their reasoning process, introducing the result clause in which they conclude (hóti {ὅτι | hóti}) that ho theós {ὁ θεός | ho theós} proskékletai hēmâs {προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς | proskékletai hēmâs}—a perfect call with ongoing effect.
In context — Acts 16:10
When he saw the vision, we immediately sought to set out for Macedonia, reasoning that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
