The Return of the Prodigal Son (1773) by Pompeo Batoni. The Parable of the Prodigal Son (also known as the parable of the Two Brothers, Lost Son, Loving Father, or of the Forgiving Father; Greek: Παραβολή του Ασώτου Υιού, romanized: Parabolē tou Asōtou Huiou) [1] [2] is one of the parables of Jesus in the Bible, appearing in Luke 15:11–32.
The story of the Prodigal Son is told in Luke 15:11-32. The story begins with an unnamed son (the "Prodigal Son") asking his father for his inheritance. After receiving his inheritance, the son travelled to a distant country where he spent all of his money recklessly. After a famine took place in that country he found himself desperately poor.

The younger son makes his way to the city. There, he is deprived of his fortune and left penniless. The younger son then returns home and asks his father's forgiveness.
