Exegesis
The verse opens with the subject phrase ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} followed by the circumstantial participle proskalesamenos {προσκαλεσάμενος | pros-ka-le-Sá-me-nos} ‘having called to Himself’, forming a participial clause that sets the scene before the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘said’. This fronted participial construction highlights Jesus’ deliberate initiative in gathering His hearers prior to speaking.
