The REAL Teaching of Jesus
The REAL Teaching of Jesus
D.
[2nd part]
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and
drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
And he called one of the servants, and asked what
these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother
is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf,
because he hath received him safe and sound. And he
was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his
father out, and intreated him. And he answering said
to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee,
neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment:
and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make
merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was
come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots,
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said
unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I
have is thine. 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.
