Luke 15:22

Context
15:22 But the father said to his slaves, 1  ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, 2  and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger 3  and sandals 4  on his feet!

1 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

2 sn With the instructions Hurry! Bring the best robe, there is a total acceptance of the younger son back into the home.

3 tn Grk “hand”; but χείρ (ceir) can refer to either the whole hand or any relevant part of it (L&N 8.30).

4 sn The need for sandals underlines the younger son’s previous destitution, because he was barefoot.
