Dear B-Greekers,

"EKKLHSIA," it seems, can refer to a smaller or larger assembly or even
that body of all called-together ones (living and passed away).

In Matthew 18:17 we read:

EAN DE PARAKOUSHi AUTWN, EIPE THi EKKLHSIA

I wonder, does EKKLHSIA here refer to a group within the local
congregation called to assemble? Or, as I think the use of the article
implies, does it most likely here refer to the whole local assembly?

Thanks,

David
