11 And He said, "A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of the estate that falls to me.' And he divided to them his living. 13 And, not many days after, gathering all things together, the younger son went abroad into a far country, and there wasted his estate, living riotously. 14 And, when he spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. 15 And, going his way, he attached himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he was longing to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and no one was giving to him. 17 But, coming to himself, he said, 'How many hired servants of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I am perishing here with hunger! 18 Arising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I sinned against Heaven, and before you; 19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.' 20 And, arising, he came to his father. But, while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion; and, running, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much. 21 And the son said to the father, 'Father, I sinned against Heaven, and before you; no longer am I worthy to be called your son!'
