Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} then introduces a secondary clause, kai autos ḗrxato hysterēisthai {καὶ αὐτὸς ἤρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι | kaì autós ḗrxato hysterêisthai}, where autos ‘he himself’ emphasizes the prodigal’s personal plight, and the inceptive ḗrxato plus infinitive hysterēisthai conveys the beginning of an ongoing state of deprivation. Translation choices render the participle as “when he had spent all,” egeneto as “came upon” in formal and “struck” in dynamic to capture both onset and impact, and the ḗrxato + infinitive as “began to be in need” and “began to experience want” to reflect the emergent hardship.
In context — Luke 15:14
But when he had spent all , a severe famine came upon that land, and he began to be in need.
