(D)I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’[a] 22 But the father said to his servants,[b] ‘Bring quickly (E)the best robe, and put it on him, and put (F)a ring on his hand, and (G)shoes on his feet. 23 And bring (H)the fattened calf and kill it, and (I)let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son (J)was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
