Luke 15:11-24

11ThenG1161 Jesus saidG2036, “There was aG5100 manG444 who hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207. 12TheG3588 youngerG3501 son saidG2036 toG3588 him, ‘FatherG3962, giveG1325 meG1473 myG1911 shareG3313 of theG3588 estateG3776.’ SoG1161 he dividedG1244 his propertyG979 between themG846.

13

AfterG3326 a fewG3756G4183 daysG2250, theG3588 youngerG3501 sonG5207 got everything togetherG4863G3956 and journeyedG589 toG1519 a distantG3117 countryG5561, where he squanderedG1287 hisG846 wealthG3776 in wildG811 livingG2198.

14AfterG1161 heG846 had spentG1159 allG3956 he had, a severeG2478 famineG3042 sweptG1096 throughG2596 thatG1565 countryG5561, andG2532 heG846 beganG756 to be in needG5302. 15So he wentG4198 and hired himself outG2853 to aG1520 citizenG4177 of thatG1565 countryG5561, who sentG3992 himG846 intoG1519 hisG846 fieldsG68 to feedG1006 the pigsG5519. 16He longedG1937 to fillG1072 hisG846 bellyG2836 withG1537 theG3588 podsG2769 theG3588 pigsG5519 were eatingG2068, butG2532 no oneG3762 would giveG1325 himG846 a thing.

17FinallyG1161 he cameG2064 toG1519 his sensesG1438 and saidG5346, ‘How manyG4214 ofG3588 myG1473 father’sG3962 hired servantsG3407 have plentyG4052 of foodG740, butG1161 hereG5602 I amG1473, starvingG3042 to deathG622! 18I will get upG450 and go backG4198 toG4314 myG1473 fatherG3962 andG2532 sayG2046 to himG846, “FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772 andG2532 againstG1799 youG4771. 19I amG1510 no longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 yourG4771 sonG5207. MakeG4160 meG1473 likeG5613 oneG1520 ofG3588 yourG4771 hired servantsG3407.”’

20SoG2532 he got upG450 and wentG2064 toG4314 hisG1438 fatherG3962. But whileG1161 he wasG846 stillG2089 in the distanceG3112G568, hisG846 fatherG3962 sawG3708 himG846 andG2532 was filled with compassionG4697. He ranG5143 to his son, embraced himG1968G1909G846G3588G5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.

21

TheG3588 sonG5207 declaredG2036, ‘FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772 andG2532 againstG1799 youG4771. I amG1510 no longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 yourG4771 sonG5207.1’

22ButG1161 theG3588 fatherG3962 saidG2036 toG4314 hisG846 servantsG1401, ‘QuickG5035! BringG1627 theG3588 bestG4413 robeG4749 andG2532 put it onG1746 himG846. PutG1325 a ringG1146 onG1519 hisG846 fingerG5495 andG2532 sandalsG5266 onG1519 hisG3588 feetG4228. 23BringG5342 theG3588 fattenedG4618 calfG3448 and killG2380 it. Let us feastG5315 and celebrateG2165. 24ForG3754 thisG3778 sonG5207 of mineG1473 wasG1510 deadG3498 andG2532 is alive againG326! He wasG1510 lostG622 andG2532 is foundG2147!’ SoG2532 they beganG756 to celebrateG2165.
