15:5 Then
when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6 Returning
home, he calls together
his
friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’
Luke 15:23-25
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.
Luke 15:32
15:32 It was appropriate
to celebrate and be glad, for your brother
was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”
