28
And he was angry and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.

But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31
But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me; and all I have is thine.
32
But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
