The Parable of the Lost Son

11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them ahis livelihood.  
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with1 prodigal living.  
14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the1 pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.  
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, aI have sinned against heaven and before you,  
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’
