"A certain man had two sons; and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country."

"Der var en mand, som havde to sønner Den yngste af dem sagde til faderen: Fader! giv mig den del af formuen, som tilkommer mig. Så skiftede han ejendommen imellem dem. Og ikke mange dage derefter samlede den yngste alt sit og rejste langt bort til et fremmed land."
