Wesley's Notes for Luke 15:26

15:25 The elder son seems to represent the Pharisees and scribes, mentioned #Lu 15:2|.

15:27 Thy father hath killed the fatted calf - Perhaps he mentions this rather than the robe or ring, as having a nearer connection with the music and dancing.

15:28 He was angry, and would not go in - How natural to us is this kind of resentment!
