The
Parable of the Prodigal Son
Luk
15:11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Luk
15:12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
Luk
15:13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and
took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with
riotous living.
Luk
15:14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that
land; and he began to be in want.
Luk
15:15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he
sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Luk
15:16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the
swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Luk
15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my
father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
Luk
15:18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I
have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
Luk
15:19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy
hired servants.
Luk
15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great
way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck,
and kissed him.
Luk
15:21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven,
and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
Luk
15:22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and
put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Luk
15:23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and
be merry:
Luk
15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is
found. And they began to be merry.
Luk
15:25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to
the house, he heard musick and dancing.
Luk
15:26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things
meant.
Luk
15:27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath
killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Luk
15:28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father
out, and intreated him.
Luk
15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I
serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou
never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Luk
15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy
living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Luk
15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I
have is thine.
Luk
15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy
brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
