Exegesis
The main finite verb parekalesa {παρεκάλεσα | pa-re-ká-le-sa} governs the object hymas {ὑμᾶς | hy-mâs} and is followed by two aorist infinitives, idein kai proslalesai {ἰδεῖν καὶ προσλαλῆσαι | i-deîn kaí pros-la-lê-sai}, forming a coordinated purpose construction, “to see and to speak with.”
