Exegesis
The aorist middle participle proskalesamenos {προσκαλεσάμενος | pros-ka-le-Sá-me-nos} functions temporally, “after summoning him,” just before the main verb legei {λέγει | lé-gei}, “he says.”
In context — Matthew 18:32
Then, after summoning him, his lord said to him, “Wicked servant, I have released you from all that you owed because you entreated me.”
