11The Parable of the Compassionate Father Then Jesus said,“A man had two sons.
12The younger of them said to his father,‘Father, give me the share of the estate that will belong to me.’ So he divided his assets between them.
13After a few days, the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth with a wild lifestyle.
14Then after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.
15So he went and worked for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
16He was longing to eat the carob pods 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 workers have food enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!
18I will get up and go to my father and say to him,“Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired workers.”’
20So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from home his father saw him, and his heart went out to him; he ran and hugged his son and kissed him.
21Then his son said to him,‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22But the father said to his slaves,‘Hurry! Bring the best robe, and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet!
23Bring the fattened calf and kill it! Let us eat and celebrate,
24because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again– he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25“Now his older son was in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

30But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
31Then the father said to him,‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.
32It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”
