The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons.12 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 Mark 12:44his livelihood.13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.
20 "And he arose and came to his father. But (Jer. 3:12); Matt. 9:36; (Acts 2:39; Eph. 2:13, 17)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.
22 "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.24 Matt. 8:22; Luke 9:60; 15:32; Rom. 11:15; (Eph. 2:1, 5; 5:14; Col. 2:13; 1 Tim. 5:6)for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
