Summon, call to oneself, invite. Proskaléomai. Jesus called the crowd to himself, and he calls still. Respond when God draws you near.

Not just a follower — a learner who becomes like the teacher. The last command Jesus gives is not go and convert — it is go and make mathetes. People who learn from Me, walk like Me, think like Me, love like Me. The mission is not decisions. It is transformation.

Speak, say, declare. Epō. Every word spoken or written carries weight before God. Speak with intention.

The deepest word in the Greek New Testament for compassion. It comes from the word for intestines — the ancients believed deep emotion was felt in the gut. When the father sees his son coming from a great way off, he is moved in his depths. He does not wait. He runs. That is the Father's heart toward you.

properly, meaning superimposition (of time, place, order, etc.), as a relation of distribution (with the genitive case), i.e. over, upon, etc.; of rest (with the dative case) at, on, etc.; of direction (with the accusative case) towards, upon, etc.

A crowd, a multitude, a mob. He saw a great crowd and had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. His response to crowds was always compassion.

Even now, already. Ēdē. The kingdom is not only coming, it is already breaking in. What God has promised, he has already begun.

Day. Hemera. This is the day the LORD has made. Every day is a gift from God. The right response to any day is rejoicing in the One who gave it.

Three. Treis. The number three echoes through Scripture as a marker of completeness and divine witness. Father, Son, Spirit. Two witnesses confirm a matter; three establish it beyond doubt.

Remain, stay, persevere. Prosmenō. To remain with a person or in a place, clinging to what matters beyond the moment. Don't just arrive. Stay.

No, not, never. Mé. The softest Greek negative, used to deny what is possible or expected. When God says no, he means it.

To have, to hold, to possess. I have learned in whatever state I am to be content. Contentment is not about having more but appreciating what you have.

To eat, consume. Phagō. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. What you consume shapes you. Feed carefully.

Fasting, abstaining from food. Nēstis. Jesus assumed his followers would fast, not merely that they might. Hunger for God more than bread.

To will, to wish, to desire. Thelo. I am willing be made clean. Jesus was always willing to heal, forgive and restore. His willingness has not changed.

Faint, grow weary, lose heart. Eklýō. Those who walk by faith are promised they will run and not grow weary. Do not relax your grip on what is eternal.

Not a way among many ways. The way. In the ancient world, hodos meant a road that had been walked and proven. Jesus is not giving directions — He is saying: I am the road itself. Walk in Me and you will arrive.
