Luke 15:17-24

Living_Oracles(i) 17 At length, coming to himself, he said, How many hirelings has my father, who have all more bread than suffices them, while I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise, and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and you, 19 and am no longer worthy to be called your son. 20 And he arose, and went to his father. When he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and threw himself upon his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said, Father, I have sinned against heaven and you, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring here the principal robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet: 23 bring also the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry; 24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. So they began to be merry.
