Luke 15: 11-32<\/p>\n

And he said, A certain man had two sons:<\/p>\n

12<\/sup><\/span> And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.<\/p>\n

13<\/sup><\/span> And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.<\/p>\n

14<\/sup><\/span> And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.<\/p>\n

15<\/sup><\/span> And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.<\/p>\n

16<\/sup><\/span> And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.<\/p>\n

17<\/sup><\/span> And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!<\/p>\n

18<\/sup><\/span> I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,<\/p>\n

19<\/sup><\/span> And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.<\/p>\n

20<\/sup><\/span> And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.<\/p>\n

21<\/sup><\/span> And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.<\/p>\n

22<\/sup><\/span> But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:<\/p>\n

23<\/sup><\/span> And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:<\/p>\n

24<\/sup><\/span> For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.<\/p>\n

25<\/sup><\/span> Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.<\/p>\n

26<\/sup><\/span> And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.<\/p>\n

27<\/sup><\/span> And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.<\/p>\n

28<\/sup><\/span> And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.<\/p>\n

29<\/sup><\/span> 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 never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:<\/p>\n

30<\/sup><\/span> But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.<\/p>\n

31<\/sup><\/span> And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.<\/p>\n

32<\/sup><\/span> It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
