[[File:1024px-Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn - Return of the Prodigal Son - Google Art Project.jpg|thumbnail|250px|[[Rembrandt]]'s painting Return of the Prodigal Son ]]
The [[Parable]] of the '''Prodigal Son''' is a parable which appears only once, at [[Luke 9-16 (Translated)#15:11|Luke 15:11-32]]. The origin of the name "prodigal" is a mystery: it does not appear in most English translations, and does not have any [[Greek]] root. The Greek term for "reckless living," sometimes but rarely translated as "prodigally", appears only once in the entire [[Bible]]. Mathematical insights in this parable include [[infinity]] (the father's wealth) and [[set theory]] (lack of order in a set).
