Father: It seemeth to me that I see my son coming home! I knew that he would come! I will go to meet him! [He meets him.] It is my son! [The Father shows great joy. The Son falls on his knees before his father.]
Prodigal Son: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
Father: Bring forth the best robe and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be merry, for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!
