Luke 15:11-16

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

12The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate that will belong to me.’ So he divided his assets between them.

13After a few days, the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth with a wild lifestyle.

14Then after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.

15So he went and worked for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.

16He was longing to eat the carob pods the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
