Luke 15:13-20

13And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his estate in 1wild living.

14Now when he had 2spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began doing without.

15So he went and 3hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

16And he longed to have his fill of the carob pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving him anything.

17But when he came to 4his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired laborers have more than enough bread, but I am dying here 5from hunger!

18I will set out and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and 6in your sight;

19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired laborers.”’

20So he set out and came to 7his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and 89embraced him and kissed him.
