Luke 15:28-30 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²⁸The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

²⁹But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

³⁰But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
