Luke 15:27 in Context — Luke 15
25 Or, le fils aîné était dans les champs. Lorsqu’il revint et approcha de la maison, il entendit la musique et les danses.
26 Il appela un des serviteurs, et lui demanda ce que c’était.
27 Ce serviteur lui dit: Ton frère est de retour, et, parce qu’il l’a retrouvé en bonne santé, ton père a tué le veau gras.
28 Il se mit en colère, et ne voulut pas entrer. Son père sortit, et le pria d’entrer.
29 Mais il répondit à son père: Voici, il y a tant d’années que je te sers, sans avoir jamais transgressé tes ordres, et jamais tu ne m’as donné un chevreau pour que je me réjouisse avec mes amis.
