11
And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12
And the
younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of
property that is coming to me.’And he divided his property
between them. 13
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all
he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he
squandered his property in reckless living. 14
And when he had
spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he
began to be in need. 15
So he went and hired himself out to[a]
one of
the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed
pigs. 16
And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs
ate, and no one gave him anything.
Prodigal Son

“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my
father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish
here with hunger! 18
I will arise and go to my father, and I will
say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before
you. 19
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as
one of your hired servants.”’ 20
And he arose and came to his
father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him
and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed
him. 21
And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against
heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your
son.’[b] 22
But the father said to his servants,[c]
‘Bring quickly the
best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes
on his feet. 23
And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat
and celebrate. 24
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he
was lost, and is found.’And they began to celebrate.
• 25
“Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew
near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26
And he called
one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27
And
he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has
killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe
and sound.’ 28
But he was angry and refused to go in. His father
came out and entreated him, 29
but he answered his father,
‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never
disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young
goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30
But when this
son of yours came, who has devoured your property with
prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31
And he said
to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is
yours. 32
It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your
brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
