:[[Lu 15:11]] ¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons:

{{:C_Lu 15:11 certain man}}

:[[Lu 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.

:[[Lu 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.

:[[Lu 15:14]] And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

:[[Lu 15:15]] And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

:[[Lu 15:16]] And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

:[[Lu 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!
