Luke 15:22-27
15:22 But the father said to his slaves,
‘Hurry! Bring the best robe,
and put it on him! Put a ring on his finger
and sandals
on his feet!
15:23 Bring
the fattened calf
and kill it! Let us eat
and celebrate,
15:24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again – he was lost and is found!’
So
they began to celebrate.
15:25 “Now his older son was in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
15:26 So he called one of the slaves and asked what was happening.
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.’
