11 And He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 And the younger of them said to the father, ‘Father, give to me the portion of the property falling to me.’ And he divided the property between them.
13 And not many days later, the younger son having gathered together all, went away into a distant country, and there he wasted his estate, living prodigally.
14 But of him having spent all, there arose a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
15 And having gone, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 And he was longing to fill his belly from the pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.
17 But having come to himself, he was saying, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have abundance of bread, but here I am perishing with hunger?
18 Having risen up, I will go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
19 no longer am I worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your servants.”’
20 And having risen up, he went to his father. And he still being far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck and kissed him.
21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; no longer am I worthy to be called your son.’
22 And the father said to his servants, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and clothe him, and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet;
23 and having brought the fattened calf, kill it, and having eaten, let us be merry.
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
