“But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying with hunger!”
“But when he came to his senses he said,‘How many of my father’s hired workers have food enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!”
“And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father's house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger!”
“But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!”

And after he had consumed it all, a great famine occurred in that region, and he began to be in need.
And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that region. And he sent him to his farm, in order to feed the swine.
And he wanted to fill his belly with the scraps that the swine ate. But no one would give it to him.
And returning to his senses, he said: ‘How many hired hands in my father’s house have abundant bread, while I perish here in famine!
I shall rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
I am not worthy to be called your son. Make me one of your hired hands.’
And rising up, he went to his father. But while he was still at a distance, his father saw him, and he was moved with compassion, and running to him, he fell upon his neck and kissed him.
