10Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of [thy] substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.
14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
15And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
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.

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.
