Luke 15:9-19

9 And when she hath found, she calleth together friends and neighbours, and saith, Be ye glad with me, for I have found the bezant that I had lost [saying, Glad ye with me, for I have found the drachma, which I had lost].
10 So I say to you, joy shall be before the angels of God on [upon] one sinful man doing penance.
11 And he said, A man had two sons [Some man had two sons];
12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of chattel, that falleth to me. And he parted to them the chattel. [+and the younger said to his father, Father, give me the portion of substance, or chattel, that falleth me. And he parted to them the substance.]
13 And not after many days, when all things were gathered together, the younger son went forth in pilgrimage into a far country; and there he wasted his goods in living lecherously [and there he wasted his substance, or goods, in living lecherously].
14 And after that he had ended all things, a strong hunger was made in that country, and he began to have need.
15 And he went, and drew him(self) to one of the citizens of that country [And he went, and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country]. And he sent him into his town, to feed swine.
16 And he coveted to fill his womb of the pods that the hogs ate, and no man gave to him.
17 And he turned again to himself, and said, How many hired men in my father's house have plenty of loaves; and I perish here through hunger [forsooth I perish here in hunger].
18 I shall rise up, and go to my father, and I shall say to him, Father, I have sinned into heaven [Father, I have sinned against heaven], and before thee;
19 and now I am not worthy to be called thy son, make me as one of thine hired men.
