Seeker Overlay ON

* And he said , A certain man had two sons : * 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 . * 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 . * And when he had spent all , there arose a mighty famine in that land ; and he began to be in want . * And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country ; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine . * And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat : and no man gave unto him . * 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 ! * I will arise and go to my father , and will say unto him , Father , I have sinned against heaven , and before thee , * And am no more worthy to be called thy son : make me as one of thy hired servants . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 : * And bring hither the fatted calf , and kill it ; and let us eat , and be merry : * For this my son was dead , and is alive again ; he was lost , and is found . And they began to be merry .
