Luke 15:11-20

Luke 15:11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.

Luke 15:12 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 his livelihood.

Luke 15:13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

Luke 15:14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.

Luke 15:15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Luke 15:16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

Luke 15:17 “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!

Luke 15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

Luke 15:19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

Luke 15:20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
