About this story

A younger son asks his father for his inheritance and leaves home for a distant country. After wasting everything, he is left hungry and desperate during a famine. Realising how badly he has acted, he returns home prepared to become one of his father’s servants. Instead, his father welcomes him with joy and holds a celebration. The older brother, however, is angry that someone so irresponsible has been forgiven. The Prodigal Son is one of Jesus’s most famous parables, exploring regret, forgiveness, unconditional love and the resentment that mercy can produce in those who believe they deserve more.

Scene 1 of The Prodigal Son, illustratedFiul risipitor · Scene 1

El spune: „Un om are doi fii. Fiul mai tânăr îi spune tatălui său: «Tată, dă-mi partea mea din avere.» Atunci tatăl împarte averea. După câteva zile, fiul mai tânăr ia tot ce are și pleacă într-o țară departe. Acolo cheltuiește toți banii și trăiește rău. După aceea, nu mai are nimic. În țara aceea vine o foamete mare și el începe ducă lipsă. Atunci merge la un om din țara aceea și lucrează pentru el. Omul îl trimite pe câmp aibă grijă de porci. Fiul vrea mănânce și el din mâncarea porcilor, dar nimeni nu-i dă.”
