Luke 15:16-23

¹⁶And he coveted to fill his womb of the pods that the hogs ate, and no man gave to him.

¹⁷And he turned again to himself, and said, How many hired men in my father’s house have plenty of loaves; and I perish here through hunger.

¹⁸I shall rise up, and go to my father, and I shall say to him, Father, I have sinned into or against heaven, and before thee;

¹⁹and now I am not worthy to be called thy son, make me as one of thine hired men.

²⁰And he rose up, and came to his father. And when he was yet afar, his father saw him, and was stirred by mercy. And he ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²¹And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned into or against heaven, and before thee; and now I am not worthy to be called thy son.

²²And the father said to his servants, Swiftly bring ye forth the first stole, and clothe ye him, and give ye a ring in his hand, and shoes on his feet;

²³and bring ye a fat calf or a calf made fat, and slay ye, and eat we, and make we feast.
