Luke 15:20-24

20So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

21And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22But the father said to his servants, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe [for the guest of honor] and put it on him; and give him a ring for his hand, and sandals for his feet.

23And bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let us [invite everyone and] feast and celebrate;

24for this son of mine was [as good as] dead and is alive again; he was lost and has been found.’ So they began to celebrate.
