LUKE 15:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:”
But the father said to his servants, quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet — the father's commands interrupt the prepared speech: quick — the urgency of the welcome. Best robe: the finest garment in the house. Ring on his finger: the signet ring that restores authority and identity. Sandals on his feet: slaves went barefoot; sons wore sandals. The three restorations are the restoration of honor, authority, and status.
