And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him Friend, lend me three loaves;

for a friend of mine hath come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?

But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

And he said also to him who invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, do not invite thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest they too invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

And one of those who were at table with him, hearing this, said to him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.

And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

But he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him.

But as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf.

And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
