Luke 15:17-24 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired workers are now in my fatherÆs house, who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger!

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired workers are now in my fatherÆs house, who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger! ¹⁸ I will rise and go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven, and before you; ¹⁹ And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers. ²⁰ And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son. ²² But his father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; ²³ And bring and kill the fat ox, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴ For this my son was dead, and has come to life; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
