Luke 15:20-32
20SoG2532 he gotG450 up and cameG2064 to 1his fatherG3962. But while he was stillG2089 a longG3112 wayG3112 offG568, his fatherG3962 sawG3708 him and feltG4697 compassionG4697 for him, and ranG5143 and 23embracedG1968G1909G5137 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.’ 22But the fatherG3962 saidG3004 to his slavesG1401, ‘QuicklyG5035 bringG1627 out 4the bestG4413 robeG4749 and putG1746 it on him, and 5putG1325 a ringG1146 on his handG5495 and sandalsG5266 on his feetG4228; 23and bringG5342 the fattenedG4618 calfG3448, killG2380 it, and let us eatG2068 and celebrateG2165; 24for thisG3778 sonG5207 of mineG1473 was 6deadG3498 and has comeG326 to lifeG326 againG326; he was lostG622 and has been foundG2147.’ And they beganG757 to celebrateG2165.
25“NowG1161 his olderG4245 sonG5207 was in the fieldG68, and whenG5613 he cameG2064 and approachedG1448 the houseG3614, he heardG191 musicG4858 and dancingG5525. 26And he summonedG4341 oneG1520 of the servantsG3816 and began inquiringG4441 whatG5101G302 theseG3778 thingsG3778 could be. 27And he saidG3004 to him, ‘Your brotherG80 hasG2240 comeG2240, and your fatherG3962 has killedG2380 the fattenedG4618 calfG3448 becauseG3754 he has receivedG618 him backG618 safeG5198 and soundG5198.’ 28But he became angryG3710 and was not willingG2309 to goG1525 in; and his fatherG3962 cameG1831 out and began pleadingG3870 with him. 29But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 to his fatherG3962, ‘LookG2400! For soG5118 manyG5118 yearsG2094 I have been servingG1398 you and I have neverG3763 7neglectedG3928 a commandG1785 of yoursG4771; and yet you have neverG3763 givenG1325 me a youngG2056 goatG2056, soG5118 that I might celebrateG2165 with my friendsG5384; 30but whenG3753 thisG3778 sonG5207 of yoursG4771 cameG2064, who has devouredG2719 your 89wealthG979 with prostitutesG4204, you killedG2380 the fattenedG4618 calfG3448 for him.’ 31And he saidG3004 to him, ‘SonG5043, you 10have alwaysG3842 beenG1510 with me, and allG3956 that is mineG1699 is yoursG4674. 32But we hadG1163 to celebrateG2165 and rejoiceG5463, for thisG3778 brotherG80 of yoursG4771 was 11deadG3498 and has begun to liveG2198, and was lostG622 and has been foundG2147.’”
