Geneva Study Bible - Luke 15:17

15:17 {3} And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!(3) The beginning of repentance is the acknowledging of the mercy of God, which encourages us to hope expectantly. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 15:1-32

SEEKING THE LOST SHEEP (vs.3-7) Though discipleship to Christ is a wonderful privilege, yet man would never choose a path of true discipleship if God did not seek him first. In this chapter we see that all the blessing for man originates in the heart of God, and therefore God's great joy predominates in the repentance and restoration of sinful people. In the person of Christ there is drawing power to bring tax gatherers and sinners to hear Him. The Pharisees and scribes resented this, and... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 15:1-32

PARABLES OF GRACE THE SELFISH GUEST (Luke 14:1-14 ) We pass over verses 1-6 which set forth the occasion for the first parable. The lesson from this first parable is, that if in natural things such selfishness was unbecoming, how much more on the spiritual plane? (Compare 1 Peter 5:5-6 ; Isaiah 57:15 .) THE GREAT SUPPER (Luke 14:15-24 ) This was spoken on the same occasion as the other and in response to the remark of Luke 14:15 . Christ had spoken of reward at “the resurrection of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 15:1-32

The Prodigal Son Luke 15:0 The man was a man of substance. It may be a fortunate or an unfortunate circumstance, as events may prove. There is nothing wrong in being a substantial man in society; yet the very fact of a man having great riches may be one of the greatest calamities that ever occurred in his life. The younger son did not say, "Father, I am tired of a lazy life, and now I am determined to do something for my own bread. I have been turning over this great problem of life in my... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 15:11-32

And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 15:18

How merciful is the Almighty, who, though so much offended, still does not disdain the name of father. --- I have sinned. These are the first words of a sinner's confession to the author of nature. God knows all things; still does he expect to hear the voice of your confession. It is in vain to think of concealing your sins from the eyes of him whom nothing can escape; and there can be no danger of acknowledging to him what his infinite knowledge has already embraced. Confess then that Christ... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 15:17-24

17-24 Having viewed the prodigal in his abject state of misery, we are next to consider his recovery from it. This begins by his coming to himself. That is a turning point in the sinner's conversion. The Lord opens his eyes, and convinces him of sin; then he views himself and every object, in a different light from what he did before. Thus the convinced sinner perceives that the meanest servant of God is happier than he is. To look unto God as a Father, and our Father, will be of great use in... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 15:1-99

Luke 15 FROM THE TWO verses that open this chapter, it would seem that these words about grace and discipleship drew the publicans and sinners toward Him, while repelling the Pharisees and scribes. He did indeed receive sinners and eat with them: such action is according to the very nature of grace. The Pharisees flung out the remark as a taunt. The Lord accepted it as a compliment, and proceeded by parables to show that He not only received sinners but positively sought them, and also to... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 15:14-19

Folly and repentance: v. 14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. v. 15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. v. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him. v. 17. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with... read more
