akjv - Luke:15:11-32

akjv@Luke:15:11 @ And he said, A certain man had two sons:

akjv@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.

akjv@Luke:15:13 @ 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.

akjv@Luke:15:14 @ And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

akjv@Luke:15:15 @ And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

akjv@Luke:15:16 @ And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave to him.

akjv@Luke:15:17 @ And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father' have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

akjv@Luke:15:18 @ I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,

akjv@Luke:15:19 @ And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.

akjv@Luke:15:20 @ 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.

akjv@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.

akjv@Luke:15:22 @ 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:

akjv@Luke:15:23 @ And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

akjv@Luke:15:24 @ For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

akjv@Luke:15:25 @ Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

akjv@Luke:15:26 @ And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

akjv@Luke:15:27 @ And he said to him, Your brother is come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.

akjv@Luke:15:28 @ And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.

akjv@Luke:15:29 @ And he answering said to his father, See, these many years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

akjv@Luke:15:30 @ But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.

akjv@Luke:15:31 @ And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.

akjv@Luke:15:32 @ It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
