LUKE 15:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!”
When he came to his senses, he said, how many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death — when he came to his senses (eis heauton de elthōn, coming to himself): the awakening is the return to his true self. How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare: the comparison between the servants' abundance and his own starvation is the catalyst of the return.
