Prayer is seen as a means of communication with God, reflecting dependence on Him. The request for prayer highlights the communal aspect of the early Christian church, where believers supported one another through intercession. This aligns with other New Testament teachings, such as in <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-17.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:17</a>, which encourages believers to "pray without ceasing."<p><b>that I may be restored to you soon.</b><br>The desire for restoration suggests a separation between the author and the recipients, possibly due to imprisonment or missionary work. The early church often faced persecution, leading to the imprisonment of leaders, as seen with Paul in <a href="/acts/16-23.htm">Acts 16:23-26</a>. The request for restoration indicates a strong bond and mutual encouragement among believers, reflecting the early church's emphasis on fellowship. This longing for reunion can also be seen in Paul's letters, such as in <a href="/philippians/1-8.htm">Philippians 1:8</a>, where he expresses a deep yearning to be with the believers.

What circumstances, whether of imprisonment or other hindrances, were in the way of his revisiting them does not appear. We remark that this verse again reminds us strongly of St. Paul (cf. <a href="/philemon/1-22.htm">Philemon 1:22</a>). The possibility may be here noted (see Introduction, p. 12.) that, if the Epistle was composed by one of St. Paul's friends, and sent under his authority, he may have himself dictated this concluding portion (beginning possibly at ver. 17) which is in a more epistolary style than the rest, and contains personal allusions. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hebrews/13-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">And</span><br /><span class="grk">δὲ</span> <span class="translit">(de)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> </span><span class="str2">A primary particle; but, and, etc.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">I especially urge</span><br /><span class="grk">παρακαλῶ</span> <span class="translit">(parakalō)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Indicative Active - 1st Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3870.htm">Strong's 3870: </a> </span><span class="str2">From para and kaleo; to call near, i.e. Invite, invoke.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you to [pray]</span><br /><span class="grk">ποιῆσαι</span> <span class="translit">(poiēsai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Infinitive Active<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_4160.htm">Strong's 4160: </a> </span><span class="str2">(a) I make, manufacture, construct, (b) I do, act, cause.
