Exegesis
The second hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces a causal clause explaining the motive, and within it the participle hugiainonta {ὑγιαίνοντα | hu-gi-ai-nón-ta} functions as an accusative object-participle describing auton {αὐτὸν | au-tón} in agreement, with apelaben {ἀπέλαβεν | a-pé-la-ben} ‘received’ denoting the full restoration state of the brother.
In context — Luke 15:27
But he said to him, “Your brother has come, and your father has sacrificed the fattened calf , because he has received him back safe and sound .”
