Luke 15:13 - And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. [NKJV]
The Dutch painter and etcher Rembrandt painted the painting "The Return of the Prodigal Son" and it portrays the younger son kneeling before his father asking for forgiveness.
The prodigal himself is fully restored to his father's household, but the jealousy displayed by his older brother is left unresolved. The parable ends with the father telling the older son that "it was right" to be glad and make merry over the restoration of his errant younger brother. (This "jealousy element" of the parable makes it clear that the older brother represents the Jews, while the younger brother represents the Gentiles. The parable is found only in Luke 15:11-31.)
It shows the willingness to forgive of the Father.
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, there are two sons. The story illustrates the journey of the younger son, who squanders his inheritance but eventually returns home and is welcomed back by his father. The older son, who stays and works on the family estate, also plays a significant role in the narrative, highlighting themes of forgiveness, grace, and jealousy.
