New Testament

Luke 15:29-32 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

29. He said to his father in reply, ‘Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends.

30. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.’

31. He said to him, ‘My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours.

32. But now we must celebrate and rejoice, because your brother was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’”
