015:020 "So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly. 015:021 "`Father,' cried the son, `I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.' 015:022 "But the father said to his servants, "`Fetch a good coat quickly-- the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet. 015:023 Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves; 015:024 for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry. 015:025 "Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing. 015:026 Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant. 015:027 "`Your brother has come,' he replied; `and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.' 015:028 "Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him. 015:029 "`All these years,' replied the son, `I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends; 015:030 but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.' 015:031 "`You my dear son,' said the father, `are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours. 015:032 We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'" 016:001 He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property. 016:002 He called him and said, "`What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.' 016:003 "Then the steward said within himself, "`What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed. 016:004 I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.' 016:005 "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, `How much are you in debt to my master?' 016:006 "`A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "`Here is your account,' said the steward: `sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.'
