Luke 15:30

Context
15:30 But when this son of yours 1  came back, who has devoured 2  your assets with prostitutes, 3  you killed the fattened calf 4  for him!’

1 sn Note the younger son is not “my brother” but this son of yours (an expression with a distinctly pejorative nuance).

2 sn This is another graphic description. The younger son’s consumption had been like a glutton. He had both figuratively and literally devoured the assets which were given to him.

3 sn The charge concerning the prostitutes is unproven, but essentially the older brother accuses the father of committing an injustice by rewarding his younger son’s unrighteous behavior.

4 sn See note on the phrase “fattened calf” in v. 23.
