Luke 15:¹¹Jesus also told them another story: Once a man had two sons. ¹²The younger son said to his father, "Give me my share of the property." So the father divided his property between his two sons. ¹³Not long after that, the younger son packed up everything he owned and left for a foreign country, where he wasted all his money in wild living. ¹⁴He had spent everything, when a bad famine spread through that whole land. Soon he had nothing to eat......
²⁰The younger son got up and started back to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt sorry for him. He ran to his son and hugged and kissed him. ²¹The son said, "Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son." ²²But his father said to the servants, "Hurry and bring the best clothes and put them on him. Give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. ²³Get the best calf and prepare it, so we can eat and celebrate. ²⁴This son of mine was dead, but has now come back to life. He was lost and has now been found." And they began to celebrate. (CEV)
