Interpretation Dependency Profile

Reception History Only

Profiled target: Matthew Henry — elder son as Jews/Pharisees; younger as publicans/sinners and Gentiles

Argument-dependency analysis. This record identifies premises and inferential steps; it does not increase the target's evidence rank.

Premises

Direct Textual Data · Directly Demonstrated · Textual Base

Luke 15:1–2 frames the parables around Jesus receiving publicans/sinners and Pharisaic/scribal complaint.

Support records: LIT_LUK_15_AUDIENCE_FRAME

Premise P1

Literary Inference · Reasonable Inference · Application

The younger and elder sons can be read against the immediate publican/sinner and Pharisee audience contrast.

Support records: WORK_MATTHEW_HENRY_COMMENTARY_LUKE15

Premise P2

Typological Expansion · Not Demonstrated By Passage · Added Premise

The younger son broadens to Gentiles and the elder son broadens to Jews generally.

This is a wider typological move beyond the explicit audience identifiers in Luke 15:1–2.

Premise P3

Traditional Authority Premise · Rejected As Authority Shortcut · Rejected Shortcut

Henry’s confessional influence establishes the typology.
