路加福音 15章14節 到 15章14節 上一筆 下一筆 |
{When he had spent} (dapan(8873)antos autou). Genitive absolute. The verb is here used in a bad sense as in Jas 4:3 . See on dapan(885c) 烊u 14:28|. {He} (autos). Emphasis. {To be in want} (hustereisthai). The verb is from husteros, behind or later (comparative). We use "fall behind" (Vincent) of one in straitened circumstances. Plummer notes the coincidences of Providence. The very land was in a famine when the boy had spent all. |
