Luke 15:27-32

27 'Your brother is here,' he told him, 'and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' ^[a]

28 "Then he became angry and didn't want to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29 But he replied to his father, 'Look, I have been slaving many years for you, and I have never disobeyed your orders, yet you never gave me a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your assets ^[b] with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.'

31 " 'Son,' ^[c] he said to him, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

32 But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "
