Mace(i)
17 at length coming to himself, how many, said he, does my father keep in pay, who have bread in abundance, whilst I am dying here with hunger?
18 I will depart, and go to my father, and say to him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and against thee;
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son: treat me as one of your hir'd servants.
20 so he departed and went to his father. but while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him, and mov'd with compassion, ran and threw himself upon his neck, and kissed him.
21 then the son said to him, father, I have sinned against heaven, and against you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
