    20And he rose up and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran, embraced him, and kissed him.

    21The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

    22But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.

    23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us eat and celebrate!

    24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

    25Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. As he came and drew near the house, he heard music and dancing.

    26So he called one of the servants and asked what these things were about.

    27He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'

    28But he became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

    29But he answered his father, 'Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

    30But when this son of yours came, who has squandered your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!'

    31The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

    32But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'

    14After he had spent everything, a severe famine arose throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
