Luke 15:28-32 ▼

28 And he was angry, and woulde not go in: Therfore came his father out, and entreated hym.

29 He aunswered and sayde to his father: Lo, these many yeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any tyme thy commaundement, and yet thou neuer gauest me a kidde to make mery with my friendes:

30 But assoone as this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy goodes with harlottes, thou hast for his pleasure kylled that fat calfe.

31 And he sayde vnto hym: Sonne, thou art euer with me, and all that I haue, is thyne,

32 It was meete that we shoulde make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alyue agayne: and was lost, and is founde.
