Luke 15:25-32
25“NowG1161 his olderG4245 sonG5207 was in the fieldG68, and whenG5613 he cameG2064 and approachedG1448 the houseG3614, he heardG191 musicG4858 and dancingG5525.
26And he summonedG4341 oneG1520 of the servantsG3816 and began inquiringG4441 whatG5101G302 theseG3778 thingsG3778 could be.
27And he saidG3004 to him, ‘Your brotherG80 hasG2240 comeG2240, and your fatherG3962 has slaughteredG2380 the fattenedG4618 calfG3448 becauseG3754 he has receivedG618 him backG618 safeG5198 andG5198 soundG5198.’
28But he becameG3710 angryG3710 and was not willingG2309 to goG1525 inG1525; and his fatherG3962 cameG1831 outG1831 and began pleadingG3870 with him.
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 neverG3763 gaveG1325 me a youngG2056 goatG2056, soG2443 thatG2443 I might celebrateG2165 with my friendsG5384;
30but whenG3753 thisG3778 sonG5207 of yoursG4771 cameG2064, who has devouredG2719 your 23wealthG979 with prostitutesG4204, you slaughteredG2380 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, becauseG3754 thisG3778 brotherG80 of yoursG4771 was 5deadG3498 and has begun to liveG2198, and was lostG622 and has been foundG2147.’”
