Luke 15:28–32
28But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.↗
29But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.↗
30But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’↗
31“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.↗
32But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”↗
