Jesus is thought to have told many parables, such as the parable of the Prodigal Son, in order to teach the moral truths behind the parables. Jesus probably never really spoke these parables, because most or all of them were created by writers long after his death so as to give substance to Jesus' teachings. This is as true of the parable of the Prodigal Son as of other New Testament parables.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son appears in the Gospels of Luke (15:11-32). Like all the New Testament gospels, Luke was originally anonymous, so we do not know who the author really was, in spite of the attribution to Luke later in the second century.
