Luke 15:22-32

22ButG1161 the fatherG3588G3962 saidG3004 toG4314 hisG846 servantsG3588G1401, Bring forthG1627 the bestG4413 robeG3588G4749, andG2532 putG1746 it onG1746 himG846; andG2532 putG1325 a ringG1146 onG1519 hisG846 handG3588G5495, andG2532 shoesG5266 onG1519 his feetG3588G4228:

23AndG2532 bring hitherG5342 the fattedG4618 calfG3448, and killG2380 it; andG2532 let us eatG5315, and be merryG2165:

24ForG3754 thisG3778 myG1473 sonG3588G5207 wasG1510 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326; he wasG1510 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147. AndG2532 they beganG756 to be merryG2165.

25NowG1161 hisG846 elderG4245 sonG3588G5207 wasG1510 inG1722 the fieldG68: andG2532 asG5613 he cameG2064 and drew nighG1448 to the houseG3588G3614, he heardG191 musickG4858 andG2532 dancingG5525.

26AndG2532 he calledG4341 oneG1520 of the servantsG3588G3816, and askedG4441 whatG5101 these thingsG3778 meantG1510.

27AndG1161 he saidG3588G3004 unto himG846, ThyG4771 brotherG3588G80 is comeG2240; andG2532 thyG4771 fatherG3588G3962 hath killedG2380 theG3588G3448 fattedG3588G4618 calfG3588G3448, becauseG3754 he hath receivedG618 himG846 safe and soundG5198.

28AndG1161 he was angryG3710, andG2532 wouldG2309 notG3756 go inG1525: thereforeG3767 cameG1831 hisG846 fatherG3962 outG1831, and intreatedG3870 himG846.

29AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG3004 toG3588G3962 his fatherG3588G3962, LoG3708, these manyG5118 yearsG2094 do I serveG1398 theeG4771, neitherG2532 transgressed IG3928 at any timeG3763 thyG4771 commandmentG1785: andG2532 yet thouG1325 neverG3763 gavestG1325 meG1473 a kidG2056, thatG2443 I might make merryG2165 withG3326 myG1473 friendsG5384:

30ButG1161 as soon asG3753 thisG3778 thyG4771 sonG3588G5207 was comeG2064, whichG3588 hath devouredG2719 thyG4771 livingG3588G979 withG3326 harlotsG4204, thou hast killedG2380 for himG846 the fattedG4618 calfG3448.

31AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto himG846, SonG5043, thouG4771 artG1510 everG3842 withG3326 meG1473, andG2532 allG3956 that I haveG1699 isG1510 thineG4674.

32It was meetG1163 that we should make merryG2165, andG2532 be gladG5463: forG3754 thisG3778 thyG4771 brotherG3588G80 wasG1510 deadG3498, andG2532 is alive againG326; andG2532 wasG1510 lostG622, andG2532 is foundG2147.
