Luke 15:12 in context

  1. 10Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
  2. 11He said, “A certain man had two sons.
  3. 12The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them.
  4. 13Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
