Verse
Luke - ch 15 v 21 - 32
- And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
- But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in it, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;
- and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
- for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.
- And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming up, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
- And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
- And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.
- But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.
- But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:
- but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
- But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
- But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.
