“Now his older son was in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
So he called one of the slaves and asked what was happening.
The slave replied,‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son back safe and sound.’
But the older son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,
but 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!
But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
Then the father said to him,‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.
