And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.	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:	But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
