Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
I will arise and go (anastav proreusomai). This determination is the act of the will after he comes to himself and sees his real condition.
I did sin (hmarton). That is the hard word to say and he will say it first. The word means to miss the mark. I shot my bolt and I missed my aim (compare the high-handed demand in verse Luke 15:12).
