    13And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living.

    14And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.

    15And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.

    20And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.

    28But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.

    29But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

    30But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

    31And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.

    32But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.
