International Children’s Bible

Luke 15:29-32 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

29. The son said to his father, ‘I have served you like a slave for many years! I have always obeyed your commands. But you never even killed a young goat for me to have a feast with my friends.

30. But your other son has wasted all your money on prostitutes. Then he comes home, and you kill the fat calf for him!’

31. The father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me. All that I have is yours.

32. We had to celebrate and be happy because your brother was dead, but now he is alive. He was lost, but now he is found.’”
