20 And he arose and came 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.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight and am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his slaves, Bring forth the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet
23 and bring here the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;
24 for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
