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).
