Luke 15:11-16

11Then Jesus said, “A man had two sons.

12The younger son said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the property.’ So the father divided his property between his two sons.

13“After a few days, the younger son gathered his possessions and left for a country far away from home. There he wasted everything he had on a wild lifestyle.

14He had nothing left when a severe famine spread throughout that country. He had nothing to live on.

15So he got a job from someone in that country and was sent to feed pigs in the fields.

16No one in the country would give him any food, and he was so hungry that he would have eaten what the pigs were eating.
