ho de EI-pen au-TOI HO-ti ho a-del-PHOS sou HÊ-kei kai E-thy-sen ho pa-TÊR sou ton MOS-khon ton si-teu-TON HO-ti hy-gi-AI-non-ta au-TON a-PE-la-ben
Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces an indirect statement in which ho adelphos sou {Ὁ ἀδελφός σου | ho a-del-phós sou} functions as the nominative subject and hekei {ἥκει | hḗ-kei} asserts his arrival in a present tense with a resultant state nuance.
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} links the action clause where ethusen {ἔθυσεν | é-thu-sen} ‘sacrificed’ takes ho patēr sou {ὁ πατήρ σου | ho pa-tḗr sou} as subject and the object phrase ton moschon ton siteuton {τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν | tòn mós-chon tòn si-teu-tón} uses an article-articular adjective construction to highlight the special calf.
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 .”
