Exegesis
The verse opens with the circumstantial participle proskalesamenos {προσκαλεσάμενος | pros-ka-le-SÁ-me-nos} ‘having called to himself’, which precedes the main verb and indicates prior action by Paul before he speaks.
In context — Acts 23:17
But Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, “Take this young man to the commander , for he has something to report to him.”
