Luke 15:26-32

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

26 So he called one of the servants and asked, `What's going on?'

27 The servant told him, `Your brother has come back, and your father has slaughtered the calf that was fattened up, because he has gotten him back safe and sound.'

28 But the older son became angry and refused to go inside. "So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29 `Look,' the son answered, `I have worked for you all these years, and I have never disobeyed your orders. But you have never even given me a young goat, so that I could celebrate with my friends.

30 Yet this son of yours comes, who squandered your property with pros titutes, and for him you slaughter the fattened calf!'

31 `Son, you are always with me,' said the father, `and everything I have is yours.

32 We had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead but has come back to life -- he was lost but has been found.'"

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.’ ”
