{I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles} (Eg(930a)eis ethn(8820)makran exapostel(9320)se). Future active of the double
(ex, out, apo, off or away) compound of exapostell(935c), common
word in the _Koin(825f) (cf.  Lu 24:49 ). This is a repetition by
Jesus of the call given in Damascus through Ananias ( 9:15 ).
Paul had up till now avoided the word Gentiles, but at last it
had to come, "the fatal word" (Farrar).
