CLV(i)
17 Now, coming to himself, he averred, 'How many of my father's hired men are being cloyed with bread, yet I am perishing here of famine!"
18 Rising, I will go to my father and declare to him, "Father, I sinned against heaven and in your sight."
19 No longer am I worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired men."'"
20 And rising, he came to his father. "Now, at his being still far away, his father perceived him and has compassion, and running, falls on his neck and fondly kisses him."
21 Now the son said to him, 'Father, I sinned against heaven and in your sight. No longer am I worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired men.'"
22 Yet the father said to his slaves, 'Quick! Bring forth the first robe, and put it on him, and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet."
23 And bring the grain-fed calf, sacrifice it, and, eating, we may make merry,
24 for this my son was dead and revives; he was lost and was found.' And they begin to make merry.
