Luke 15:25-32
New King James Version (NKJV)

25 “Now his older son was in the
field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and
dancing. 26 So he called
one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your
brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the
fatted calf.’

28 “But he was angry and would not
go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and said
to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never
transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I
might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with
harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’

31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you
are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make
merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is
found.’”
