Luke 15:20-24 ▼

20 And having risen, he went to his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell on his neck and kissed him;

21 and the son said to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

22 And the father said to his servants, Bring forth the foremost robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;

23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,

24 because this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
