LUKE 15:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.”
After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need — after he had spent everything: the sequence is complete — the inheritance exhausted. A severe famine adds external pressure to personal depletion. He began to be in need (hystereisthai, to lack, to fall behind): the first experience of genuine deprivation.
