LUKE 15:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.”
Your brother has come, he replied, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound — your brother (ho adelphos sou): the servant's formulation makes the family relationship explicit. The father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound (hygiainonta): the fattened-calf celebration communicates the magnitude of the occasion.
