The older son came from the field

and heard music and dancing.

A servant said his brother had returned safely and his father had prepared a feast.

Angry, he refused to go in.

His father came out and pleaded. “I’ve served you for years without disobeying,” he complained. “You never gave me a party with my friends! But you celebrate for this son of yours!”

His father replied, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. We had to celebrate: your brother was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”
