    15And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

    17But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!

    18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:

    19I am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

    20And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

    21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son .

    22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes 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 is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

    27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

    28But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him.

    29But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

    30but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.

    31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.

    32But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive [again] ; and [was] lost, and is found.
