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.)
