And the youngest of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the estate that falls to me; and he divided to them his living. And not many days after, the youngest son, collecting all his property, went abroad to a distant country; and there wasted his property, living intemperately. And when he had spent all, there was a severe famine in that country; and he began to be in want. And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his field to feed swine. And he desired to fill his stomach with the carob pods which the swine eat; and no man gave him. And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father abound in bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned to Heaven, and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet far off, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned to Heaven, and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe and put on him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet; and bring the fatted calf and kill it; let us eat, and rejoice; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to rejoice. But his older son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house he heard music and the dancers. And calling one of the servants he inquired what these things meant. And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back in health. And he was angry, and would not go in; but his father came out and entreated him. And he answered and said to his father, Behold, l have served you so many years, and have never disobeyed your command; and you have never given me a kid, that I might rejoice with my friends; but when this your son came who has consumed his living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf. But he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all mine is yours. We ought also to rejoice and be glad; for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
