Luke 15:26-32

Lexham English Bible LEB

26 And he summoned one of the slaves [and] asked what these [things] meant.

27 And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has gotten him back healthy.'

28 But he became angry and did not want to go in. So his father came out [and] began to implore him.

29 But he answered [and] said to his father, 'Behold, so many years I have served you, and have never disobeyed your command! And you never gave me a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!

30 But when this son of yours returned--who has consumed your assets with prostitutes--you killed the fattened calf for him!'

31 But he said to him, 'Child, you are always with me, and {everything I have belongs to you}.

32 But it was necessary to celebrate and to rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead, and is alive, and was lost, and is found!'"

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.’ ”
