Luke 15

²⁸ The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

²⁹ But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

³⁰ But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

³¹ ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

³² But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
