ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como a uno de tus jornaleros.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son , etc.] As all the Jews were; not only by creation, and providential care, as all men are; but by national adoption: and however worthy this man might think himself to be called a Son of God before, and value himself upon it; he now sees, and was ready to own his unworthiness to be called so in any sense; and much more to be called and accounted a Son of God by special adoption; make me as one of thy hired servants ; this is said not from a servile spirit, but to express the mean thoughts he had of himself, and the great desire he had to be fed from his father's table, in the meanest way; and what an happiness and honour it would be to him, could he be the meanest in his family, a doorkeeper in his house; which was more eligible to him, than to dwell in the tents of sin, or continue in this hungry and starving condition.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-24 - Having viewed the prodigal in his abject state of misery, we are nex to consider his recovery from it. This begins by his coming to himself That is a turning point in the sinner's conversion. The Lord opens his eyes, and convinces him of sin; then he views himself and every object in a different light from what he did before. Thus the convinced sinne perceives that the meanest servant of God is happier than he is. To look unto God as a Father, and our Father, will be of great use in ou repentance and return to him. The prodigal arose, nor stopped till he reached his home. Thus the repenting sinner resolutely quits the bondage of Satan and his lusts, and returns to God by prayer notwithstanding fears and discouragements. The Lord meets him with unexpected tokens of his forgiving love. Again; the reception of the humbled sinner is like that of the prodigal. He is clothed in the rob of the Redeemer's righteousness, made partaker of the Spirit of adoption, prepared by peace of conscience and gospel grace to walk in the ways of holiness, and feasted with Divine consolations. Principle of grace and holiness are wrought in him, to do, as well as to will.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

15:19 {No longer worthy} (ouketi axios). Confession of the facts. He sees his own pitiful plight and is humble. {As one} (hws hena). The hired servants in his father's house are high above him now.
