Whiston(i)
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee,I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: Make me as one of thy hired servants.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put [it] on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
23 And bring the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat and be merry.
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again;he [was] lost, and is now found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his older son was in the field: But as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what could this be?
27 And he said, Thy brother is come;and thy father hath killed the fatted calf for him, because he hath received him sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: But his father came out, and began to intreat him.
29 And he answering, said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment, and yet thou at no time gavest me a kid, out of the goats, that I might dine with my friends:
30 But for thy son who hath devoured all he had with harlots, when he came thou hast killed the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine;
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again;was lost, and is found.
