11. Then Yeshua said, “A certain man had two sons,
12. and the younger of them said to the father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.’ So he divided his wealth between them.
13. “Not many days later, the younger son gathered everything and traveled to a far country, and there he squandered his inheritance on wild living.
14. Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine came against that country, and he began to be in need.
15. So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16. And he was longing to fill up on the carob pods the pigs were eating, but no one was giving him any.
17. “But when he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have food overflowing, but here I am dying of hunger!
18. I’ll get up and go to my father, and I’ll say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your presence.
19. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired workers.
