Luke 15:20-24
Lexham English Bible

20 And he set out and[a] came to his own father. But while[b] he was still a long way away, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him[c] and kissed him. 21 And his[d] son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight![e] I am no longer worthy to be called your son!’ 22 But his[f] father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it[g] on him, and put a ring on his finger[h] and sandals on his[i] feet! 23 And bring the fattened calf—kill it[j] and let us eat and[k] celebrate, 24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate.
