Luke 15:21-32

LITV(i) 21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you, and no longer am I worthy to be called your son. 22 But the father said to his slaves, Bring out the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet. 23 And bring the fattened calf, slaughter and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and was lost, and was found. And they began to be merry. 25 But the older son was in a field. And having come, as he drew near to the house, he heard music and dances. 26 And having called one of the children, he inquired what this may be. 27 And he said to him, Your brother came, and your father killed the fattened calf, because he received him back in health. 28 But he was angry and did not desire to go in. Then coming out, his father begged him. 29 But answering, he said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve you, and never have I transgressed a command of you. And you never gave a goat to me, so that I might be merry with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, the one devouring your living with harlots, you killed the fattened calf for him. 31 But he said to him, Child, you are always with me, and all of my things are yours. 32 But to be merry and to rejoice was right, for this brother of yours was dead, and lived again; and being lost, also he was found.
