Luke 15: 11-32
11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And
the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods
that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 And
not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far
country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. 14 But
when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began
to be in want. 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen
of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And
he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and
no one gave him anything.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my
father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with
hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to
him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired
servants.” ’
20 “And he arose and came to his father. But when he was
still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell
on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him,
‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer
worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But 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. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us
eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead and is alive
again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and
drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he
called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And
he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe
and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
28 “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his
father came out and pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and
said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never
transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat,
that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this
son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed
the fatted calf for him.’
31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and
all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make
merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost
and is found.’ ”
