Bible Trivia Challenge: How Well Do You Know the Prodigal Son? Did you enjoy the January 11, 2026, Sunday School Lesson titled "Repentance and Faith" from Luke 15:11-24 about the prodigal son?
We all know the story of the Prodigal Son. It is one of the most beautiful pictures of grace and forgiveness found in the entire Bible. But when was the last time you really paid attention to the details in Luke 15:11–24?
Sometimes we read familiar passages so often that we miss the specific "little things" that make the story come alive. To help you dive deeper into this scripture, I’ve put together a quick, 5-question trivia challenge using the King James Version.
Here is how it works: Read the questions below and lock in your guesses. But, I’m not going to give you the answers here! To see if you got a perfect score (and to hear a little more about why these details matter), you’ll need to watch the video linked at the bottom of this post.
1. In the beginning of the parable, what specific request did the younger son make to his father?
2. After gathering all his belongings together, where did the younger son travel to before wasting his substance?
3. When the son was in want and feeding the swine, what did he desire to fill his belly with?
4. According to verse 20, the father saw his son while he was "yet a great way off." What four actions did the father immediately take?
5. Upon the son's return, the father commanded the servants to bring out the fatted calf and what three specific items to wear?
So, how confident are you feeling? Did you get stuck on the "swine's food" or remember exactly what the father commanded the servants to bring?
It’s time to find out if you got 5 out of 5!
