Luke 15:11-16

11To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons.

12The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons.

13“A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living.

14About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve.

15He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything.
