015:021 "`Father,' cried the son, `I have sinned against Heaven
and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called
a son of yours.'
015:022 "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.
015:023 Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
015:024 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.
015:025 "Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned
and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
015:026 Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
015:027 "`Your brother has come,' he replied; `and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
015:028 "Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
015:029 "`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;
015:030 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.'
