Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction de {δὲ | dè} linking the son’s declaration to the preceding parable, followed by the aorist verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} with the nominative subject ho huios {ὁ υἱὸς | ho hu-i-ós} “the son,” establishing the central action.
The adjective axios {ἄξιος | áx-i-os} “worthy” is complemented by the aorist passive infinitive klēthēnai {κληθῆναι | klē-thê-nai} “to be called,” with huios sou {υἱός σου | hu-i-ós sou} “your son” as the object, underscoring the loss of filial standing.
Root and etymology
“son, descendant”
In context — Luke 15:21
But the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your presence. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.”
