15:30 | But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. |
15:31 | And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me: and all that I have is thine. |
15:32 | It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. |
