Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 15:22

_ _ But the Father said, etc. — The son has not said all he purposed, not so much, because the father’s demonstrations had rekindled the filial, and swallowed up all servile feeling [Trench] (on the word “Father,” see on Luke 15:18), but because the father’s heart is made to appear too full to listen, at that moment, to more in this strain.

_ _ the best robe — Compare Zechariah 3:4, Zechariah 3:5, “Take away the filthy garments from him; behold I have clothed thee with change of raiment; and they clothed him with garments” (Isaiah 61:10; Revelation 3:18).

_ _ a ring — (Compare Genesis 41:42; James 2:2).

_ _ shoes — Slaves went barefoot. Thus, we have here a threefold symbol of freedom and honor, restored, as the fruit of perfect reconciliation.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 15:11-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Luke 15:22

But the father said — Interrupting him before he had finished what he intended to say. So does God frequently cut an earnest confession short by a display of his pardoning love.
