Luke 15:29-32

29But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 to his fatherG3962, ‘LookG2400! For soG5118 manyG5118 yearsG2094 I have been servingG1398 you and I have neverG3763 1neglectedG3928 a commandG1785 of yoursG4771; and yet you have neverG3763 givenG1325 me a youngG2056 goatG2056, soG5118 that I might celebrateG2165 with my friendsG5384;

30but whenG3753 thisG3778 sonG5207 of yoursG4771 cameG2064, who has devouredG2719 your 23wealthG979 with prostitutesG4204, you killedG2380 the fattenedG4618 calfG3448 for him.’

31And he saidG3004 to him, ‘SonG5043, you 4have alwaysG3842 beenG1510 with me, and allG3956 that is mineG1699 is yoursG4674.

32But we hadG1163 to celebrateG2165 and rejoiceG5463, for thisG3778 brotherG80 of yoursG4771 was 5deadG3498 and has begun to liveG2198, and was lostG622 and has been foundG2147.’”
