What is the parable of the prodigal son?
В Луки 15 Иисус рассказывает о сыне, который взял своё наследие, растратил его и затем вернулся домой, где отец сам выбежал ему навстречу. Это один из самых ясных в Писании образов того, как Бог принимает всякого возвращающегося грешника.

A younger son asks for his share of the family estate, leaves home, and spends it on reckless living. When famine comes he ends up feeding pigs, longing to eat what they eat. There, alone, 'he came to himself' (Luke 15:17) and decided to return — not as a son, but as a hired hand.
Before he can finish his prepared confession, his father sees him 'a long way off,' runs to meet him, and embraces him. He calls for the best robe, a ring, sandals, and a feast — full restoration. 'This my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found' (Luke 15:24).
The parable also has an older brother — religiously dutiful, but cold. Jesus told the story because the religious leaders were grumbling that he ate with sinners (Luke 15:1–2). Both brothers are loved by the father; both need to come inside. The picture stands as God's answer to anyone who wonders whether they have wandered too far for him to welcome them home.
