Verse
Luke - ch 15 v 21 - 32
- And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
- And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
- And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
- Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
- Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
- And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
- And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
- And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
- And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
- But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
- But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
- But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
