The Turker’s Gospel

The Bible According To Mechanical Turk Workers

Luke 15:11-20

15:11 - And he said, That man in particular had two sons:

15:12 - Then the younger of the two said to his father: Father, give me the part of your possessions that I have coming to me. And so he divided his belongings.

15:13 - A few days after his younger son collected all his belongings, and started his journey into a far away country and wasted all his substance with noisy and violent living.

15:14 - After he spent everything, a famine spread across the land; and he began to want for things.

15:15 - He joined a member of the country and sent him to feed his pigs.

15:16 - And he would have been willing to eat the same husks as the pigs, but nobody gave anything to him.

15:17 - He thought to himself, How many of my Dad’s servants have plenty to eat and I am starving?

15:18 - I will get up now and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, in your very presence I have sinned against heaven,

15:19 - I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Instead, treat me as a hired servant.

15:20 - He stood up and walked towards his father. When he was still a distance away his father saw him and ran the rest of the way and fell onto him and kissed him.
