42:015:022 But the father said to his servants, Bring
forth the best
robe,
and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and
shoes
on
his feet:
42:015:023 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill
it; and let us eat,
and
be merry:
42:015:024 For this my son was dead, and is alive
again; he was lost, and
is
found. And they began to be merry.
42:015:025 Now his elder son was in the field:
and as he came and drew
nigh
to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
42:015:026 And he called one of the servants, and
asked what these things
meant.
42:015:027 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.
42:015:028 And he was angry, and would not go in:
therefore came his
father
out, and intreated him.
42:015:029 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:
42:015:030 But as soon as this thy son was come, which
hath devoured thy
living
with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
42:015:031 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever
with me, and all that
I
have is thine.
42:015:032 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.
42:016:001 And he said also unto his disciples, There
was a certain rich
man,
which had a steward; and the same was accused unto
him
that
he had wasted his goods.
42:016:002 And he called him, and said unto him, How
is it that I hear
this
of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou
mayest
be no longer steward.
42:016:003 Then the steward said within himself, What
shall I do? for my
lord
taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot
dig; to beg
I
am ashamed.
42:016:004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I
am put out of the
stewardship,
they may receive me into their houses.
42:016:005 So he called every one of his lord’s
debtors unto him, and
said
unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
42:016:006 And he said, An hundred measures of oil.
And he said unto him,
Take
thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
42:016:007 Then said he to another, And how much owest
thou? And he said,
An
hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him,
Take thy
bill,
and write fourscore.
