Luke 15:20-32

20And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses. 21And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son. 22But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; 23and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry: 24for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry. 25And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be. 27And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well. 28But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him. 29But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends: 30but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. 32But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.
