Luke 15:17 in Context — Luke 15
15 Y fué y se llegó á uno de los ciudadanos de aquella tierra, el cual le envió á su hacienda para que apacentase los puercos.
16 Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comían los puercos; mas nadie se [las] daba.
17 Y volviendo en sí, dijo: ¡Cuántos jornaleros en casa de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, y yo aquí perezco de hambre!
18 Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti;
19 Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.
