15:21 - His son came to him and said, Dad, I have wronged God and don’t deserve to be called your son.
15:22 - But his father told the servants, Go and get the best robe for him to wear; and place a ring on his finger, and put shoes on his feet.
15:23 - Bring the generous calf here and kill it; we will eat and be joyous.
15:24 - Just today, my child was not living, and now he has come back to life; he was lost, but now we have found him. And then they started rejoicing.
15:25 - His oldest son was outside, returning to the house. As he did so he heard the sound of music and dancing from within.
15:26 - He called one of the servants, asking the meaning of all these things.
15:27 - The man said to another man, My brother has appeared; My dad has slaughtered the fat baby cow, he has obtained him safely and well.
15:28 - He was angry and wouldn’t go inside, so his father came outside and tried to get him to come in.
15:29 - And he answered his father, all these many years I have served you, I have always followed your rules: but you have never given me a kid, so that I could celebrate with my friends:
15:30 - But when your son came, which had been eaten because you were living with harlots, you killed him for the fat cow.
15:31 - He said, Son, you are always with me and whatever I have is also yours.
15:32 - It is good that we are happy and having a party: For I thought your brother was dead and he is alive; and he was lost and now I have found him.
