When the prodigal son returns home to beg for a menial job, his father surprises him by killing a fatted animal to celebrate his return. What kind of young animal was it?
AA gosling
BA piglet
CA calf✓ Correct Answer
DA lamb
Answer & Explanation
✓ A calf
The correct answer is A calf. Jesus tells this parable in Luke 15 to demonstrate the "joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth" (Luke 15:10). The youngest son of a wealthy man demanded his inheritance early, so that he could enjoy it right away. His father complied, and the boy - moving away from home - soon wasted all the money on a dissolute lifestyle.
