The Parable of the Prodigal Son is found in the Bible in Luke 15:11-32.
I highly recommend opening your Bible and reading along with me (from the Christian Standard Bible translation) as I read in this episode. Here are the highlights:
A wealthy father had two sons.
The younger (“prodigal”) one demanded his inheritance early and ran off to pursue foolish living.
The prodigal ran out of money, fell into abject poverty and realized how much better he had it back home. Maybe he could return as a servant?
The father saw him far off and ran to greet him. He clothed him, had the fattened calf slaughtered and held a celebration.
The older son grew indignant at how his son had been welcomed back.
