Exegesis
The aorist middle verb prosekalesato {προσεκαλέσατο | prosekalésato} ‘called to Himself’ presents a decisive, completed action in which Jesus initiates contact, taking auta {αὐτὰ | autà} ‘them’ as its direct object.
In context — Luke 18:16
But Jesus called them to Himself, saying, “Allow the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God is for such as these.”
