* And he arose (5631 ), and came (5627 ) to his father . But when he was yet a great way off (5723 ), his father saw (5627 ) him , and had compassion (5675 ), and ran (5631 ), and fell (5627 ) on his neck , and kissed (5656 ) him . * And the son said (5627 ) unto him , Father , I have sinned (5627 ) against heaven , and in thy sight , and am (5748 ) no more worthy to be called (5683 ) thy son . * But the father said (5627 ) to his servants , Bring forth (5657 ) the best robe , and put it on (5657 ) him ; and put (5628 ) a ring on his hand , and shoes on his feet : * And bring hither (5660 ) the fatted calf , and kill (5657 ) it ; and let us eat (5631 ), and be merry (5686 ): * For this my son was (5713 ) dead , and is alive again (5656 ); he was (5713 ) lost (5756 ), and is found (5681 ). And they began (5662 ) to be merry (5745 ). * Now his elder son was (5713 ) in the field : and as he came (5740 ) and drew nigh (5656 ) to the house , he heard (5656 ) musick and dancing . * And he called (5666 ) one of the servants , and asked (5711 ) what these things meant (5751 ). * And he said (5627 ) unto him , Thy brother is come (5719 ); and thy father hath killed (5656 ) the fatted calf , because he hath received (5627 ) him safe and sound (5723 ). * And he was angry (5681 ), and would (5707 ) not go in (5629 ): therefore came his father out (5631 ), and intreated (5707 ) him . * And he answering (5679 ) said (5627 ) to his father , Lo (5628 ), these many years do I serve (5719 ) thee , neither transgressed I (5627 ) at any time thy commandment : and yet thou never gavest (5656 ) me a kid , that I might make merry (5686 ) with my friends : * But as soon as this thy son was come (5627 ), which hath devoured (5631 ) thy living with harlots , thou hast killed (5656 ) for him the fatted calf . * And he said (5627 ) unto him , Son , thou art (5748 ) ever with me , and all that I have is (5748 ) thine . * It was meet (5713 ) that we should make merry (5683 ), and be glad (5646 ): for this thy brother was (5713 ) dead , and is alive again (5656 ); and was (5713 ) lost (5756 ), and is found (5681 ).
