Luke 15:17-21

17But when he cameG2064 to 1his sensesG1438, he saidG5346, ‘HowG4214 manyG4214 of my father’sG3962 hiredG3407 menG3407 haveG4052 moreG4052 thanG4052 enoughG4052 breadG740, but I am dyingG622 hereG5602 with hungerG3042!

18I will getG450 up and goG4198 to my fatherG3962, and will sayG3004 to him, “FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, and 2in your sightG1799;

19I amG1510 noG3765 longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 your sonG5207; makeG4160 me as oneG1520 of your hiredG3407 menG3407.”’

20SoG2532 he gotG450 up and cameG2064 to 3his fatherG3962. But while he was stillG2089 a longG3112 wayG3112 offG568, his fatherG3962 sawG3708 him and feltG4697 compassionG4697 for him, and ranG5143 and 45embracedG1968G1909G5137 him and kissedG2705 him.

21And the sonG5207 saidG3004 to him, ‘FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772 and in your sightG1799; I amG1510 noG3765 longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 your sonG5207.’
