Context
15:27 The slave replied , ‘Your brother has returned , and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son back safe and sound .’
15:28 But the older son became angry and refused to go in . His father came out and appealed to him ,
15:29 but he answered answered his father , ‘Look ! These many years I have worked like a slave for you , and I never disobeyed your commands . Yet you never gave me even a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends !
15:30 But when this son of yours came back , who has devoured your assets with prostitutes , you killed the fattened calf for him !’
15:31 Then the father said to him , ‘Son , you are always with me , and everything that belongs to me is yours .
15:32 It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad , for your brother was dead , and is alive ; he was lost and is found .’”
