'And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously;

'And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed him;

He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

and Jesus answering said, 'Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him.
