Exegesis
The aorist middle participle proskalesamenos {προσκαλεσάμενος | pros-ka-le-sá-me-nos} functions as a circumstantial participle, providing background action (“after He had called”) that precedes the main imperfect verb elegen {ἔλεγεν | é-le-gen} “He was saying.”
In context — Mark 7:14
And having called the crowd to Him again, He said to them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand .”
