rsv@Luke:15:20 @ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
rsv@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
rsv@Luke:15:22 @ But the father said to his servants, `Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;
rsv@Luke:15:23 @ and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
rsv@Luke:15:24 @ for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry.
rsv@Luke:15:25 @ "Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
rsv@Luke:15:26 @ And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant.
rsv@Luke:15:27 @ And he said to him, `Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.'
rsv@Luke:15:28 @ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him,
rsv@Luke:15:29 @ but he answered his father, `Lo, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
rsv@Luke:15:30 @ But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!'
rsv@Luke:15:31 @ And he said to him, `Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
rsv@Luke:15:32 @ It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'"
