    23Bring the fattened calf and kill it! Let us eat and celebrate,

    24because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again– he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

    25“Now his older son was in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

    26So he called one of the slaves and asked what was happening.

    27The slave replied,‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son back safe and sound.’

    28But the older son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,

    29but he answered his father,‘Look! These many years I have worked like a slave for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yet you never gave me even a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!

    30But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
