    The Prodigal Son is one in a series of parables that Jesus shared with his disciples, on the subject of repentance and forgiveness. There are four books of The New Testament devoted entirely to Jesus’ teachings (the four Gospels), and therefore there is considerable overlap in the information in each. However, it is interesting to note that this story only appears in the Gospel of Luke.

    A parable is a short story designed to teach an important truth or moral lesson. When Jesus taught this particular parable, he paired it with two others about The Lost Sheep, and The Piece of Silver, both addressing the themes of repentance and return to the fold. The Prodigal Son is the longest parable in this cycle, and begins with a very familiar situation.
