Luke:15:11-32
noyes@Luke:15:11 @ He said also, A certain man had two sons.
noyes@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
noyes@Luke:15:13 @ And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and went abroad into a far country; and there wasted his substance in riotous living.
noyes@Luke:15:14 @ And when he had spent all, there arose a great famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
noyes@Luke:15:15 @ And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
noyes@Luke:15:16 @ And he longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave to him.
noyes@Luke:15:17 @ And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!
noyes@Luke:15:18 @ I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee;
noyes@Luke:15:19 @ I am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
noyes@Luke:15:20 @ And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
noyes@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
noyes@Luke:15:22 @ But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
noyes@Luke:15:23 @ And bring the fatted calf; kill it, and let us eat and make merry.
noyes@Luke:15:24 @ For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make merry.
noyes@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.
noyes@Luke:15:26 @ And calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant.
noyes@Luke:15:27 @ And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
noyes@Luke:15:28 @ But he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him.
noyes@Luke:15:29 @ And he answering said to his father, Lo! for so many years have I served thee, and never transgressed thy command; and yet to me thou never gavest a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
noyes@Luke:15:30 @ But as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf.
noyes@Luke:15:31 @ And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
noyes@Luke:15:32 @ It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
