Luke 15:28-32

Murdock(i) 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: and his father went out and entreated him. 29 And he said to his father: Lo, these many years have I labored in thy service, and never transgressed thy command; and thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But for this thy son, when he had dissipated thy property with harlots, and came home, thou hast slain the fatted bullock for him. 31 His father said to him: My son, thou hast been ever with me, and all that I have, is thine. 32 But it was proper for us to be merry, and to rejoice; because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.
