Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his estate in foolish living.

After he had spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he had nothing.

Then he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

Therefore He said: “A nobleman traveled to a far country to receive for himself authority to be king and then return.
