It is often used in the context of gathering individuals for a meeting, assembly, or council. This term implies a deliberate action of bringing people together for discussion, decision-making, or to convey important information.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, calling together an assembly was a common practice for leaders, whether in civic, religious, or familial contexts. Assemblies were central to decision-making processes in ancient societies. The act of summoning people was often associated with authority and leadership, as it required the power to gather individuals for a common purpose.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to call together<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>called...together (2), called together (3), calls together (2), summoned (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4779: συγκαλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συγκαλέω</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">συνκαλέω</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">σύν</span></span>, II. at the end)), <span class="greek2">συγκαλῶ</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">συνεκαλεσα</span>; middle, present <span class="greek2">συγκαλοῦμαι</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">συνεκαλεσαμην</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">קָרָא</span>; <span class="accented">to call together, assemble</span>: <span class="greek2">τινας</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/15-6.htm">Luke 15:6</a> (here <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading has present middle); <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">σπεῖραν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-16.htm">Mark 15:16</a>; <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">συνέδριον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/5-21.htm">Acts 5:21</a>; middle <span class="accented">to call together to oneself</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 135, 5): <span class="greek2">τινας</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-1.htm">Luke 9:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/15-6.htm">Luke 15:6</a> (6 <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading),9 (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Luke 23:13>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-24.htm">Acts 10:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-17.htm">Acts 28:17</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>call together. <p>From <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleo</a>; to convoke -- call together. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleo</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>συγκαλεί συγκαλεῖ συγκαλείται συγκαλεσάμενος συγκαλέσασθαι συγκαλέσετε συγκαλούσα συγκαλούσιν συγκαλοῦσιν συγκάλυμμα συγκαλώ συνεκαλεσαν συνεκάλεσαν συνεκάλεσε συνεκάλεσεν συνκαλει συνκαλεῖ Συνκαλεσαμενος Συνκαλεσάμενος συνκαλεσασθαι συνκαλέσασθαι συνκαλουσιν συνκαλοῦσιν sunekalesan sunkalei Sunkalesamenos sunkalesasthai sunkalousin synekalesan synekálesan synkalei syn'kaleî Synkalesamenos Syn'kalesámenos synkalesasthai syn'kalésasthai synkalousin syn'kaloûsin<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/mark/15-16.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Mark 15:16</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
