REPENTANCE AND RESTORATION
24 Son’s greed demands of fatheR
23 ‘Give me my share of your monEy’ -
22 gets a third of the princiPal.
21 He enthusiastically spEnds
20 on wanton women and driNking –
19 wastes all being a parTygoer.
18 He’s financially cleAned out!
17 No cash, no friends aNd no hope.
16 Famine causes all Concern. No
15 Income: he shall gEt a farm job.
14 Hungry, sad boy wAnts pigfeed:
13 decides filliNg his stomach
12 With those poDs not good idea
11 Could be a seRvant now at home…
10 Having comE now to his senses
9 ‘I will ariSe, leave and go back;
8 say to faTher: I am confessing
7 my sin tO you. I’m not any longer,
6 dad, woRthy to be known as a son.’
5 His fAther saw him when he was
4 disTant. He ran, embraced, gave
3 a rIng, pair of shoes and a coat.
2 ‘GOod news! A lost son came back:
1 Now he is alive, no longer dead!’
