paraphrased ‘enter the story’
🕊️reading & study 🕊️
(Jesus continues “the parable of the prodigal son”, note: a joyful father, not at all angry.) 21 - “And the son,” {who had gone away and wasted his inheritance on riotous living} “said to his father, ‘Father, I’ve sinned against heaven and you. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22 But the father, called his workers and said, ‘Bring the best robe! And put it on him! And put a ring on his finger! And shoes for his feet! 23 And get ready the fatted calf and let us eat and celebrate! 24 For my son was dead! But now he’s alive! He was lost, and now he’s found!’ And they began to celebrate and make merry.
25 Now his older son was in the field, and as he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the hired servants and asked what was going on. 27 And he answered, ‘Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back alive and well.’ 28 But now the older son was aggrieved and angry. So he refused to go in, and his father, learning of it, came out and tried to talk to him. 29 But he answered, ‘Father, I’ve worked and served you these many years. And I’ve not run off and left the work for others! Yet you never even gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours comes, who has squandered your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’ 31 And the father said to him, ‘But son, you’re always with me. And all which I have is yours.’”
