It implies an action of summoning or bringing someone into a particular setting, often with a sense of purpose or intention. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of inviting someone into a home or a gathering.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, hospitality was a significant cultural value. Inviting someone into one's home was not only a gesture of friendship but also a social obligation. The act of calling someone in, as expressed by εἰσκαλέομαι, would have been understood as an extension of this hospitality, reflecting the host's willingness to share their space and resources with others. This cultural practice is mirrored in the early Christian communities, where fellowship and communal gatherings were central to their expression of faith.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1519.htm">eis</a> and <a href="/greek/2564.htm">kaleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to call in<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>invited (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 1528: εἰσκαλέομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εἰσκαλέομαι</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐισκαλοῦμαι</span> (middle of <span class="greek2">εἰσκαλέω</span>): 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">εἰσκαλεσάμενος</span>; <span class="accented">to call in unto oneself, to invite in</span> to one's house: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-23.htm">Acts 10:23</a>.
