19: και ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου ποιησον με ως ενα των μισθιων σου— edit Textus Receptus
19: And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.- edit KJV text
19: I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.— edit Douay text



No more worthy, &c.

"Such has been my conduct that I have been a disgrace to my father. I am not fit to be honoured by being called the son of a man so kind and virtuous."

Make me as one, &c.

"Treat me as a servant. Let me come again into your family, but I do not ask to be treated as a son. I am willing to come in if you will give me only the support that you give to a servant."
