* "
But the father said to his servants , "
Bring out the best robe and put it on him ,
and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet .
*
And bring the fatted calf here and kill it ,
and let us eat and be merry ;
*
for this my son was dead and is alive again ;
he was lost and is found .'
And they began to be merry .
* "
Now his older son was in the field .
And as he came and drew near to the house ,
he heard music and dancing .
*
So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant .
*
And he said to him , "
Your brother has come ,
and because he has received him safe and sound ,
your father has killed the fatted calf .'
* "
But he was angry and would not go in .
Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him .
*
So he answered and said to his father , "
Lo ,
these many years I have been serving you ;
I never transgressed your commandment at any time ;
and yet you never gave me a young goat ,
that I might make merry with my friends .
*
But as soon as this son of yours came ,
who has devoured your livelihood with harlots ,
you killed the fatted calf for him .'
* "
And he said to him , "
Son ,
you are always with me ,
and all that I have is yours .
*
It was right that we should make merry and be glad ,
for your brother was dead and is alive again ,
and was lost and is found ."'
