Luke 15

The Prodigal Son Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Easy · Ends on Luke 15:24

He asks for his inheritance early, spends it in a far country, and ends up envying pigs their husks. Then he comes to himself. The Prodigal Son puts Luke 15 in a grid: the wasted substance, the famine, the long walk home, and a father who sees him a great way off and runs.

The best clues in this one are the small things the father calls for — a robe, a ring, shoes, the fatted calf — because that is where the parable does its work. There is an elder brother in the grid too, standing outside the music. The closing verse is the father's answer to him.
