The parable of the lost sheep;8. of the piece of silver; 11. of the prodigal son. When he came to his senses This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the parable of the Prodigal Son. The Greek word used here is "ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἐλθὼν" (heauton de elthōn), which can be translated as "coming to himself." This suggests a moment of self-realization or awakening. In the context of the parable, it signifies the prodigal son's recognition of his dire situation and the beginning of repentance.
