29 And he, answering, said to his father, Behold, these many years I have served thee, neither at any time have I transgressed thy commandment; and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with my friends.
30 But as soon as this thy son was come who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed the fatted calf for him.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art always with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was necessary that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.
