    11 Then He said, 'There was a man who had two sons.'

    12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided the property between them.

    13 Not long after, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in reckless living.

    14 After he had spent everything, a severe famine arose throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

    15 So he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

    16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

    17 But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but here I am dying from hunger!

    18 I will rise up and go to my father and 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.’

    21 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

    24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

    25 Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. As he came and drew near the house, he heard music and dancing.

    26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things were about.

    27 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.'
