THE PARABLE OF THE LOST SON

Jesus also told them another story. "Once a man had to two sons. They younger son said to his father. "Give me my share of the property." Give me my share of the property. " So the father divided his property between his two sons. "Not long after that, the younger son packed up everything he owned and left for a foreign country, and left for a foreign country, where he wanted all his money i wild living. He had spent everything, when a bad famine spread throught that whole land. Soon he had nothing to eat. "He went to work for a man in that country, and then man sent him out to take care of his pigs. He would have been glad to eat what the pigs were eating, but no one gave him a thing. "Finally, he came to his senses and said, "My father's workers have plenty to eat, and here I am, starving to death! I will go to my father and say to him, Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son. Treat me like one of your workers"
