"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.
"The
son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against
you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
"But
the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and
put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and
celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he
was lost and is found.'
Luke
11:20-24 (New
International Version)
