*
And He said ,
A certain man had two sons .
*
And the younger of them said to the father ,
Father give me that part of the property falling to me .
And he divided the living to them .
*
And not many days after ,
gathering up all things ,
the younger son went away to a distant country .
And there he wasted his property ,
living dissolutely .
*
But having spent all his things ,
a severe famine came throughout that country ,
and he began to be in need .
*
And going ,
he was joined to one of the citizens of that country .
And he sent him into his fields to feed pigs .
*
And he longed to fill his stomach from the husks which the pigs ate ,
but no one gave to him .
*
But coming to himself he said ,
How many servants of my father have plenty of loaves ,
and I am perishing with famine .
*
Rising up ,
I will go to my father ,
and I will say to him ,
Father ,
I sinned against Heaven and before you ,
*
and I am no longer worthy to be called your son .
Make me as one of your hired servants .
*
And rising up ,
he came to his father .
But he yet being far away ,
his father saw him and was moved with pity .
And running ,
he fell on his neck and fervently kissed him .
*
And the son said to him ,
Father ,
I have sinned against Heaven and before you ,
and no longer am I worthy to be called your son .
*
But the father said to his slaves ,
Bring out the best robe and clothe him ,
and give a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet .
*
And bring the fattened calf ,
slaughter and let us eat and be merry ;
*
for this son of mine was dead ,
and lived again ,
and was lost ,
and was found .
And they began to be merry .
*
But the older son was in a field .
And having come ,
as he drew near to the house ,
he heard music and dances .
*
And having called one of the children ,
he inquired what this may be .
*
And he said to him ,
Your brother came ,
and your father killed the fattened calf ,
because he received him back in health .
*
But he was angry and did not desire to go in .
Then coming out ,
his father begged him .
*
But answering ,
he said to the father ,
Behold ,
so many years I serve you ,
and never have I transgressed a command of you .
And you never gave a goat to me ,
so that I might be merry with my friends .
*
But when this son of yours came ,
the one devouring your living with harlots ,
you killed the fattened calf for him .
*
But he said to him ,
Child ,
you are always with me ,
and all of my things are yours .
*
But to be merry and to rejoice was right ,
for this brother of yours was dead ,
and lived again ;
and being lost ,
also he was found .
