Luke 15:28-32

ABU(i) 28 And he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him. 29 And he answering said to his father: Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and never transgressed thy command; and to me thou never gayest a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But when this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said to him: Child, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad; because this thy brother was dead and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
