And He said, “A man had two sons.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:12 - “And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.’ So he divided his [fn]wealth between them.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:23 - and bring the fattened calf, slaughter it, and let us eat and celebrate,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:24 - for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.
