26He called to one of the servants and asked what was happening.

27“The servant told him, ‘Your brother has come home. So your father has killed the fattened calf to celebrate your brother’s safe return.’

28“Then the older son became angry and wouldn’t go into the house. His father came out and begged him to come in.

29But he answered his father, ‘All these years I’ve worked like a slave for you. I’ve never disobeyed one of your commands. Yet, you’ve never given me so much as a little goat for a celebration with my friends.

31“His father said to him, ‘My child, you’re always with me. Everything I have is yours.
