*
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 .
*
Now his elder son was in the field :
and as he came and drew nigh to the house ,
he heard musick and dancing .
*
And he called one of the servants ,
and asked what these things meant .
*
And he said unto him ,
Thy brother is come ;
and thy father hath killed the fatted calf ,
because he hath received him safe and sound .
*
And he was angry ,
and would not go in :
therefore came his father out ,
and intreated him .
*
And he answering said to his father ,
Lo ,
these many years do I serve thee ,
neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment :
and yet thou never gavest me a kid ,
that I might make merry with my friends :
*
But as soon as this thy son was come ,
which hath devoured thy living with harlots ,
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf .
*
And he said unto him ,
Son ,
thou art ever with me ,
and all that I have is thine .
*
It was meet that we should make merry ,
and be glad :
for this thy brother was dead ,
and is alive again ;
and was lost ,
and is found .
