Luke 15:25-29

Luke 15:25-29 NLT

“Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, and he asked one of the servants what was going on. ‘Your brother is back,’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.’ “The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in.

And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends.
