Luke 15:26-32

The Bible in Basic English BBE

26 And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.

27 And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.

28 But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.

29 But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

30 But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

31 And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.

32 But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.

New International Version NIV

26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.

27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.

29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31 “ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”
