LUKE 15:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.”
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. So they began to celebrate — was dead and is alive again; was lost and is found: the two parallel pairs communicate the magnitude of the restoration. The son who was lost to the family (dead) is returned (alive). The celebration begins immediately — not after a probationary period but at the moment of the return.
