It often implies a personal invitation or a directive to come closer or to follow. This term can be seen as an extension of the idea of calling, with an added nuance of movement or change, suggesting a transition from one state or place to another.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, calling or summoning someone was a common practice, whether in social, legal, or religious contexts. The act of calling someone to oneself could imply authority, relationship, or a significant purpose. In the context of the early Christian community, the concept of being called by God or Christ was central to the understanding of discipleship and mission.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3326.htm">meta</a> and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to call from one place to another<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>called (1), invite (1), invited (1), summon (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 3333: μετακαλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μετακαλέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μετακάλω</span>: middle, 1 aorist <span class="greek2">μετεκαλεσαμην</span>;
