UTN uW Translation Notes:

καὶ

and

Luke uses the word And to introduce the results of what the previous sentences described. Alternate translation (as in UST): “So”

ἀναστὰς

/having/_risen_up

This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “leaving that place”

ἔτι δὲ αὐτοῦ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος

still but ˱from˲_him far being_away

This does not mean that the younger son was still in the other country. Alternate translation: “while he was still at a great distance from his father’s house”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐσπλαγχνίσθη

/was/_feeling_compassion
