Matthew 19:20The Passion Translation“But I’ve always obeyed every one of them without fail,” the young man replied. “What else do I lack?” See the chapter |
“The son said, ‘Father, listen! How many years have I worked like a slave for you, performing every duty you’ve asked as a faithful son? And I’ve never once disobeyed you. But you’ve never thrown a party for me because of my faithfulness. Never once have you even given me a goat that I could feast on and celebrate with my friends as this son of yours is doing now.
