Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 15:15

_ _ joined himself, etc. — his pride not yet humbled, unable to brook the shame of a return.

_ _ to feed swine — glad to keep life anyhow, behold the son sank into a swineherd — among the Jews, on account of the prohibition of swine’s flesh, emphatically vile! “He who begins by using the world as a servant, to minister to his pleasure, ends by reversing the relationship” [Trench].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 15:11-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 15:15

And he joined himself to a citizen of that country — Either the devil or one of his children, the genuine citizens of that country which is far from God. He sent him to feed swine — He employed him in the base drudgery of sin.
