Amplified Bible

Luke 15:27-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

27. And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed that [wheat-]fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and well.

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 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 that [wheat-] fattened calf!

31. And the father said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
