SIBI-P1 Translation G3343-01
having been sent for
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist, passive, participle; nominative masculine singular — indicating a male subject who has undergone the completed action of being summoned. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive participle denotes a completed action received by the subject. "Having been sent for" preserves the compound sense of dispatching a messenger to secure someone’s presence, rather than merely being sent elsewhere. |
