But while the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion.d He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissede him. 21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

Bring out the best robef and put it on him; put a ringg on his finger and sandalsh on his feet. 23 Then bring the fattened calfi and slaughter it, and let’s celebrate with a feast, 24 because this son of mine was dead and is alive again;j he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
