'Call' in the Bible

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your petition [in prayer] was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.

Listen carefully: you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

“For He has looked [with loving care] on the humble state of His maidservant;For behold, from now on all generations will count me blessed and happy and favored by God!

It happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child [as required by the Law], and they intended to name him Zacharias, after his father;

I did not come to call the [self-proclaimed] righteous [who see no need to repent], but sinners to repentance [to change their old way of thinking, to turn from sin and to seek God and His righteousness].”

“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not practice what I tell you?

Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is [essentially and morally] good except God alone.
