Luke 15:23

“Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;”

Verse in context — Luke 15

The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.

Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;

for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' They began to celebrate.

Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
