    13And not many days after, the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey to a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

    14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

    19And am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me like one of your hired servants.

    21And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.
