25 “Now his older son was in the field. As[a] he came and approached the house, he heard music[b] and dancing. 26 So[c] he called one of the slaves[d] and asked what was happening. 27 The slave replied,[e] ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf[f] because he got his son[g] back safe and sound.’
