The Parable of the Lost Son
11 12
Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to
his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his
property between them.
13
“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant
14
country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent
everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in
15
need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him
16
to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs
were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17
“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants
18
have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to
19
my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I
am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired
20
servants.’ So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with
compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21
“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am
no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him.
23
Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it.
24
Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive
again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
