21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven aand in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants,1 ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
24 afor this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
