Luke 15:25 Douay-Rheims

Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:

Theophylact of Ohrid

c. 1055–1107 Orthodox

The son then says to the father, For nothing I left a life of sorrow, ever harassed by sinners who were my enemies, and never hast thou for my sake ordered a kid to be slain, (that is, a sinner who persecuted me,) that I might enjoy myself for a little. Such a kid was Ahab to Elijah, who said, Lord, they have killed thy prophets. (1 Kings 19:14.)
