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.

20 Y levantándose, vino á su padre. Y como aun estuviese lejos, viólo su padre, y fué movido á misericordia, y corrió, y echóse sobre su cuello, y besóle.

21 Y el hijo le dijo: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti, y ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo.
