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.
22. But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in it, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;
23. and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
24. for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.
25. And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming up, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26. And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
27. And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.
