LUKE 15:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.”
But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him — this son of yours: the deliberate refusal to say my brother — the disowning of the relationship. Who has squandered your property with prostitutes: the older son's addition of prostitutes (not mentioned in the original narrative) may be assumption or rumor. The moral calculation is explicit: he wasted the inheritance on the worst possible things, and he gets the best possible welcome.
