25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be.
27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him.
29But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.
31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
