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 Return of the Prodigal Son includes figures not directly related to the parable but seen in some of these earlier works; their identities have been debated. The woman at top left, barely visible, is likely the mother, [ 4 ] while the seated man, whose dress implies wealth, may be an advisor to the estate or a tax collector.

In this modern day retelling of the timeless Prodigal Son Parable, young Jacob is tired of living on the family farm, submitting to the rules of his Father, Mr. Abraham. One day he demands an early inheritance from his father, who shocks his young son by agreeing to give it to him.
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 Prodigal Son, also known as Two Sons, Lost Son, the Prodigal Father, [15] the Running Father, [16] and the Loving Father, the third and final part of the cycle on redemption, also appears only in Luke's Gospel (verses 11-32). It tells of a father who gives the younger of his two sons his share of the inheritance before he dies.
