Luke 15:13

15:13 After ¹  a few days, ²  the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered ³  his wealth ⁴  with a wild lifestyle.

Luke 15:19

15:19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me ⁵  like one of your hired workers.”’

¹ tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “after not many days.”

³ tn Or “wasted.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).

⁴ tn Or “estate” (the same word has been translated “estate” in v. 12).

⁵ tn Or “make me.” Here is a sign of total humility.
