25 Now his elder fon was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard mufick and dancing.

26 And he called one of the fervants, and asked what these things meant?

27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come: and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him fafe and found. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
