Verse
Luke - ch 15 v 21 - 32
- And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.
- But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:
- And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.
- For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.
- Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.
- And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.
- And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.
- But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.
- But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:
- But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.
- And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.
- But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.
