Composition

This is a continuation of the story of the prodigal son which you started reading in Week 14. You might need to review that reading so that you are familiar with the vocabulary which recurs here. Read through the passage, and then answer the questions below. If you are unsure about something, ask for help at the Discussion Board.

You might also find it helpful to read this passage at the GreekBible.com website, where you can click on each word and see its dictionary definition with grammatical information. (Just search for "Luke 15" and make sure you set the display to "Palatino Linotype").

Note: Remember that the question word τι can mean "what?" and can also mean "why?"

Accents: The reading has been provided with breathing marks and accent marks, but the questions and answers should be done without breathing marks and accent marks - although you should include the iota subscript when necessary.

When the assignment has been completed, a Composition Key will be made available.
