Luke 15:16-23

¹⁶And he longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave to him.

¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!

¹⁸I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee;

¹⁹I am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.

²⁰And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²¹And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

²²But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.

²³And bring the fatted calf; kill it, and let us eat and make merry.
