Text:

Instead of palin ‘again’ of the great majority of modern editions of the Greek text, Textus Receptus and Taylor have panta ‘all.’

Exegesis:

proskalesamenos (cf. 3.13) ‘calling to him,’ ‘summoning.’

sunete (cf. 4.12) ‘you must understand.’

Translation:

Hear me is ‘listen to me.’ Understand may be understood figuratively as ‘receive it in your hearts.’
