Exegesis
The adverb oudepote {οὐδέποτε | oudépote} “never” precedes entolēn sou {ἐντολήν σου | entolḗn sou} to underscore complete obedience, while parēlthon {παρῆλθον | parḗlthon} “I transgressed” carries the juridical sense of violating a command.
In context — Luke 15:29
But he answered and said to his father , “Behold, for so many years I have served you, and I never transgressed your command ; yet you never gave me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends.”
