20He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21The son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no more worthy to be called your son.`
22But the father said to his servants, `Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
23Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;
24for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.` They began to be merry.
25Now his elder son was in the field. As he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.
