Parable of a lost son
11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger one said to the father, ‘Father, give me the appropriate share of the estate.’ So he divided the property between them. 13 Not many days later the younger son, having converted it all, journeyed to a distant country; and there he squandered his wealth living dissolutely.
20 "So he got up and went to his own father. But while he was still a good ways off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion—he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him! 22 But the father said to his slaves: ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 24 because this son of mine was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
