And the younger said to his 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, gathering all things together, the younger son went abroad into a far country, and there wasted his estate, living riotously. And, when he spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. And, going his way, he attached himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he was longing to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and no one was giving to him.

And, calling to him one of the young men, he inquired of him, what these things might be. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come; and your father killed the fatted calf, because he received him in sound health.' But he was angry, and was not willing to go in; but his father, coming out, kept entreating him. But he, answering, said to his father, 'Behold, so many years do I serve you; and, at no time, did I transgress a command of yours; and you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. But, when your son??his one who devoured your living with harlots??ame, you killed for him the fatted calf!' And he said to him, 'Child, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours' But it was meet to make merry, and rejoice; because this your brother was dead, and came to life again; and had been lost, and was found."
