20 Accordingly he arose and went to his father. But he keeping yet at a distance, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 Whereupon the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe and put it on him; and put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet.
23 And bring out the fatted calf and kill it. And let us eat and be joyful;
24 because this my son was dead and is come to life. He was indeed lost and is now found. So they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the field. And as he was coming home and drew near the house, he heard the musick and dancing.
26 Whereupon calling one of the servants, he enquired what might be the occasion of this.
27 And he said to him, It is because thy brother is come: and thy father hath killed the fatted calf because he hath received him in good health.
28 At this he was angry and would not go in. His father therefore went out and entreated him.
29 But he answering, said to his father, Behold these many years that I have served thee without ever disobeying thy command, thou hast never given me a kid, that I might be merry with my friends:
30 but soon as this son of thine is come, who hath devoured thy substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 In reply, to which his father said to him, Son, thou art always with me; and all that I have is thine.
32 But we ought to feast and rejoice because this thy brother was dead and is come to life. He was indeed lost and is now found.
