The Parable of the Lost Son

Luke 15:11-32

And Jesus said,


"There was a man who had two sons;
and the younger of them said
to his father,
`Father, give me the share
of property that falls to me.'
And he divided his living between them.

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

Not many days later, the younger son


gathered all he had
and took his journey into a far country,
and there he squandered
his property in loose living.
And when he had spent everything,
a great famine arose in that country,
and he began to be in want.

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

So he went and joined himself


to one of the citizens of that country,
who sent him into his fields
to feed swine.
And he would gladly have fed
on the pods that the swine ate;
and no one gave him anything.

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

But when he came to himself, he said,


`How many of my father's hired servants
have bread enough and to spare,
but I perish here with hunger!
I will arise and go to my father,
and I will say to him,
"Father, I have sinned against heaven
and before you;
I am no longer worthy
to be called your son.
Treat me as one of your hired servants."'

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

And he arose and came to his father.


But while he was yet at a distance,
his father saw him
and had compassion,
and ran and embraced him
and kissed him.

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

And the son said to him,


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

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

But the father said to his servants,


`Bring quickly the best robe,
and put it on him;
and put a ring on his hand,
and shoes on his feet;
and bring the fatted calf and kill it,
and let us eat and make merry!
For this my son was dead,
and is alive again.
He was lost, and is found.'
And they began to make merry.

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

"Now his elder son was in the field;


and as he came
and drew near to the house,
he heard music and dancing.
And he called one of the servants
and asked what this meant.
And he said to him,
`Your brother has come,
and your father has killed the fatted calf,
because he has received him
safe and sound.'
But he was angry and refused to go in.
The Parable of the Lost Son
Luke 15:11-32

His father came out and entreated him,


but he answered his father,
`Behold, these many years
I have served you,
and I never disobeyed your command;
yet you never gave me a kid,
that I might make merry with my friends.
But when this son of yours came,
who has devoured your living
with harlots,
you killed for him the fatted calf!'

The Parable of the Lost Son


Luke 15:11-32

And his father said to him,


`Son, you are always with me,
and all that is mine is yours.
It was fitting to make merry and be glad,
for this your brother was dead,
and is alive!
He was lost, and is found.'"
