1:53 he has filled the hungry with good things, ¹  and has sent the rich away empty. ² 

Lukas 15:18

15:18 I will get up and go to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned ³  against heaven ⁴  and against ⁵  you.

[1:53]  ¹ sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.

[1:53]  ² sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).

[15:18]  ³ sn In the confession “I have sinned” there is a recognition of wrong that pictures the penitent coming home and “being found.”

[15:18]  ⁴ sn The phrase against heaven is a circumlocution for God.

[15:18]  ⁵ tn According to BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνωπιον 4.a, “in relation to ἁμαρτάνειν ἐ. τινος sin against someone Lk 15:18, 21 (cf. Jdth 5:17; 1 Km 7:6; 20:1).”
