Exegesis
The verse opens with the circumstantial participle proskalesamenos {προσκαλεσάμενος | pros-ka-le-sá-me-nos} ‘having called to Himself’, which precedes the subject ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} and the main verb legei {λέγει | lé-gei}, yielding a participle–subject–verb sequence that foregrounds Jesus’ intentional gathering of His hearers.
In context — Mark 10:42
And Jesus , having called them to Himself, says to them, "You know that those who are considered to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them."
