The Holy Bible Luke 15:11-32
And he said, "A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to the gather, 'Father, give me the share of the property falling to me.' And he divided his living between them. And not many days later, the younger son, having collected everything, departed for a far country, and dissipated his property by living prodigally. When he had spent everything a severe famine spread throughout that country, and he began to be in need. And he went and attached himself to one of that country's citizens, and he sent him into his fields to feed the pigs; And he longed to fill his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. And coming to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired men are overflowing with bread, but I am here perishing from famine. I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "I have sinned against heaven and before you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son."' And he rose and went to his own father. And while he was yet far away his father saw him and was inwardly moved with pity, and ran and fell upon his neck and kissed him fervently. And his son said to him 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best rope and put it on him, and place a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet, And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us sit and have good cheer, Because this son of mine was dead and has come to life again, was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate. But his older son was in a field; and as he came and drew near the house he heard music and dancing, And calling one of the servants over he asked what all this might be. And he told him that 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has gotten him back in good health.' But in his response he was indignant and did not wish to go in; and his gather came out and pleaded with him. But in reply he said to the father, 'Look, for so many years I am slaving for you, and I have never disobeyed a command of yours, and you never gave me a goat so that I could make merry with my friends, But when this son of yours came, he who has devoured your livelihood with whores, you killed the fattened calf for him.' And he said to him, 'Child, you are always with me, and all my things are yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and came to life, and was lost and has been found.'"
