Luke
King James Version (KJV)


“And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.”
King James Version (KJV)
15:12 Give me the part of goods that falleth to me - See the root of all sin! A desire of disposing of ourselves; of independency on God!
Lu 15:12 Give me the portion of goods. A selfish and unfilial demand, suitable to the sinner who demands of God to give, but returns no gratitude. He divided to them [his] living. The elder would receive two shares and the younger one (De 21:17).
And the yonger of them said to his father, Father, giue me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he diuided vnto them his liuing.
