wmth@Luke:15:22 @ »But the father said to his servants,« `Fetch a good coat quickly –the best one– and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
wmth@Luke:15:23 @ Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
wmth@Luke:15:24 @ for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' »And they began to be merry.
wmth@Luke:15:25 @ »Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.«
wmth@Luke:15:26 @ Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
wmth@Luke:15:27 @ »`Your brother has come,' he replied; `and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'«
wmth@Luke:15:28 @ »Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.«
wmth@Luke:15:29 @ »`All these years,' replied the son, `I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends;«
wmth@Luke:15:30 @ but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
wmth@Luke:15:31 @ »`You my dear son,' said the father, `are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.«
wmth@Luke:15:32 @ We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'«
