Exegesis
The parallel structure kai emoi oudepote edōkas eriphon {καὶ ἐμοὶ οὐδέποτε ἔδωκας ἔριφον | kaí emoi oudépote édōkas ériphon} mirrors the earlier “never” statement, heightening the son’s perception of injustice.
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.”
