"Another parable...tells: 'A king's son fell into evil ways. The king sent his tutor to him with the message, "Return, O my son." But the son sent to his father the reply, "With what can I return? I am ashamed to come before you." Then the father sent to him, saying, "Can a son be ashamed to return to his Father! If you return, Do you not return to your father?"'
