Luke 15:18-24
-
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
-
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
-
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet 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 unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
-
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
-
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, 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.
