11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of property falling. And he divided to them the property. 13 And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner. 14 And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want. 15 And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into the fields to feed swine. 16 And he eagerly desired to fill his belly with the fruits of the horntree which the swine ate: and none gave to him. 17 And having come to himself, he said, Many hired of my father abound in loaves, and I am perishing with hunger! 18 Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired. 20 And having risen, he came to his father. And yet being far off, his father saw him, and felt compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, Father, I sinned against heaven, and before thee, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
