The Parable of the Prodigal Son

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. Not long after that, the younger
son got together all he had, set off for a distant 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 need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him
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.

When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to
spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to 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 men. 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. The son said to him,
'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your
son. But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring
on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. 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.

Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music
and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 'Your brother
has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe
and sound.'

The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded
with him. But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never
disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my
friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes
home, you kill the fattened calf for him! My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and
everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours
was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”
