¹² And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them. ¹³ And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living. ¹⁴ And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.
