Luke 15:14-17 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          14After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
          15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
          16He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

¹⁷Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!

— Luke 15:14-17
