Bible Commentary for Luke 15:12

Wesley's Notes for Luke 15:12


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!



People's Bible Notes for Luke 15:12


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).
