Scene 1 · Intermediate
Jesus erzählte von einem Mann, der zwei Söhne hatte. Eines Tages sagte der jüngere zu seinem Vater: „Vater, gib mir den Anteil an deinem Besitz, der mir zusteht.“ Daraufhin teilte der Vater seinen Besitz unter den beiden Söhnen auf.
Jesus told a story about a man who had two sons. One day, the younger son said to his father, “Father, give me the share of your property that I’m entitled to.” The father then divided his property between his two sons.
Nur wenige Tage später packte der jüngere Sohn alles zusammen, was er hatte, und machte sich auf die Reise in ein fernes Land.
Just a few days later, the younger son packed up everything he had and set off on a journey to a distant land.
