Luke 15:32

But it was right to celebrate and be happy, because this brother of yours was dead but has come back to life, he was lost but has been found.'"
[This is the last of three parables about how something lost is found. It is clear that the parables were directed at the Pharisees who complained that sinners came to listen to Jesus' teaching, see Luke 15:1–2. The older brother describes a self-righteous person, the younger brother a sinful person who repents.]
