## THE PARABLE
of the
PRODIGAL SON
according to
ST. LUKE.

### N°I
THE DEPARTURE.

V.11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

V.12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

### N°II
IN FOREIGN CLIMES.

V.13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

### N°III
THE RETURN.

V.16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

V.17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger:

V.18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee.

V.19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.

V.20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

### N°IV
THE FATTED CALF.

V.29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at anytime thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

V.30 But as soon as this thy son was come which thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

V.31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

V.32 It was meet that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
