Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 15:13

_ _ not many days — intoxicated with his new — found resources, and eager for the luxury of using them at Will.

_ _ a far country — beyond all danger of interference from home.

_ _ wasted, etc. — So long as it lasted, the inward monitor (Isaiah 55:2) would be silenced (Isaiah 9:10; Isaiah 57:10; Amos 4:6-10).

_ _ riotous living — (Luke 15:30), “with harlots.” Ah! but this reaches farther than the sensualist; for “in the deep symbolical language of Scripture fornication is the standing image of idolatry; they are in fact ever spoken of as one and the same sin, considered now in its fleshly, now in its spiritual aspect” (Jeremiah 3:1-15; Ezekiel 16:1-17:24) [Trench].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 15:11-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 15:13

He took a journey into a far country — Far from God: God was not in all his thoughts: And squandered away his substance — All the grace he had received.
