18 I will be up and off to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
19 I don't deserve to be called your son any more; only make me like one of your hired men."'
20 So he got up and went off to his father. But when he was still far away his father saw him and felt pity for him and ran to fall upon his neck and kiss him.
21 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I don't deserve to be called your son any more.'
22 But the father said to his servants, 'Quick, bring the best robe and put it on him, give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet,
23 and bring the fatted calf, kill it, and let us eat and be merry;
24 for my son here was dead and he has come to life, he was lost and he is found.' So they began to make merry.
