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.
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 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might (K)celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, (L)who has devoured (M)your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, (N)you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting (O)to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother (P)was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.(A)
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.(B) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe(C) and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger(D) and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;(E) he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.(F)
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry(G) and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property(H) with prostitutes(I) comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”(J)
