Luke 15:20-24

English Standard Version

²⁰ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ^(A)ran and ^(B)embraced him and ^(C)kissed him. ²¹ And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. ^(D)I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’^{[a] 22} But the father said to his servants,^[b] ‘Bring quickly ^(E)the best robe, and put it on him, and put ^(F)a ring on his hand, and ^(G)shoes on his feet. ²³ And bring ^(H)the fattened calf and kill it, and ^(I)let us eat and celebrate. ²⁴ For this my son ^(J)was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
