Luke 15:17-24

MLV(i) 17 Now having come to himself, he said, How many of my father’s hired servants are abounding, even of bread? But I am perishing here in famine! 18 After having risen up, I will be traveling to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned at heaven, and in your sight. 19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants. \ulnone\nosupersub 20 And standing up, he came to his father. But while he was still distant, far from him, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell upon his neck and kissed him. 21 But the son said to him, Father, I have sinned at heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
22 But the father said to his bondservants, Bring out the foremost robe and clothe him, and give him a ring for his hand and shoes for his feet; 23 and when you have brought the fattened calf, sacrifice it, and when we eat it, we should be joyous. 24 Because this one, my son, was dead and then lived again, and was perishing and then was found. And they began to be joyous.
