Luke 15:17-24

Listen to Luke 15:17-24

17 But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!

18 I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:

19 I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants.

20 And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.

21 And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.

22 But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:

23 And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.

24 For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.
