Luke 15:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ And get our ·fat [fattened; ^Cprepared for slaughter] calf and kill it [^Cpeople only occasionally ate meat; such a large animal indicates a major celebration] so we can have a feast and celebrate. ²⁴ My son was dead, but now he is alive again! He was lost, but now he is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

²⁵ “The older son was in the field, and as he came closer to the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing.
