Parable of the Prodigal Son
The Gospel of Luke records the
following which is told by Jesus:
"... there is joy in the presence of
the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
"A certain man had two sons.
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. And not many days after, the younger son
gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there
wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he
had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he
began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a
citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed
swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with
the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
"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! I will arise and
go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned
against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be
called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."’
"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. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned
against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be
called your son.’
"But the father said to his
servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a
ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the
fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for
this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is
found.’
"And they began to be merry."
