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

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

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

    17But 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!

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

    27He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'

    28But he became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

    29But he answered his father, 'Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
