Exegesis
The participial clause eis heauton {εἰς ἑαυτὸν | eís he-autón} ‘into himself’ uses a preposition with a reflexive pronoun to portray inner reflection, and the participle elthōn {ἐλθὼν | el-thṓn} ‘having come’ functions as a temporal clause.
In context — Luke 15:17
But when he came to himself, he said, “How many of my father's hired servants have bread in abundance, and here I am perishing with hunger !”
