Luke 15:28-30

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁸ But [the elder brother] was angry [with deep-seated wrath] and resolved not to go in. Then his father came out and began to plead with him,

²⁹ But he answered his father, Look! These many years I have served you, and I have never disobeyed your command. Yet you never gave me [so much as] a [little] kid, that I might ^[a]revel and feast and be happy and make merry with my friends;

³⁰ But when this son of yours arrived, who has devoured your estate with immoral women, you have killed for him ^[b]that [wheat-] fattened calf!
