¹⁸I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,

¹⁹And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.

²²Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,

²³And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
