Luke 15:15-24

Etheridge(i) 15 And he went and joined himself to one of the sons of the city of that place; and he sent him into the field to tend the swine. 16 And he had a desire to fill his belly with those karubs* which the swine did eat; and no man gave to him. [* Kurubee, the pods of the karub-tree, ceratonia siliqua.] 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hirelings are there now in my father's house, who have abundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing! 18 I will arise, go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy thy son to be called: make me as one of thy hirelings. 20 And he arose, (and) went to his father. And while he was (yet) afar, his father saw him, and had compassion upon him, and ran, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. 21 And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am not worthy thy son to be called. 22 But his father said to his servants, Bring forth the first [Or, principal.] robe to clothe him, and put a ring upon his hand, and let him be, shod with sandals, 23 and bring, kill the calf that is fat, and let us eat and be glad; 24 for this my son was dead, and he is alive; he was lost, and is found. And they began to rejoice.
