Luke 15:19 Context
17And when he came to himselfe, he said, How many hired seruants of my fathers haue bread inough and to spare, and I perish with hunger? 18I will arise and goe to my father, and will say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen and before thee. 19And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants. 20And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ranne, and fell on his necke, and kissed him. 21And the sonne said vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy sonne.

People's Bible Notes for Luke 15:19
Lu 15:19 Am no more worthy. His own claims of worth are gone. He has proved worthless. He is willing to take the humblest place in his father's house. Humility and consecration follow genuine repentance.
