Barnes New Testament Notes by Albert Barnes
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE - Chapter 15 - Verse 23
Verse 23. Be merry. Literally, |eating, let us rejoice.| The word merry does not quite express the meaning of the Greek. Merriment denotes a light, playful, jovial mirth. The Greek denotes simply joy -- let us be happy, or joyful.
