Luke 15:12 in context

  1. 10Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
  2. 11And he said, A certain man had two sons:
  3. 12and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
  4. 13And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.
  5. 14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
