Luke 15:21-32

Anderson(i) 21 But his son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it- on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again: he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called to him one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him in health. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in. Then his father went out and entreated him. 29 But he answered and said to his father, Behold, for so many years do I serve you, and never have I transgressed your commandment, and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this your son has come, Who has eaten up your estate with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 But it became us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead, and is alive again: was lost, and is found.
