Luke 15:23

15:23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it! Let us eat and celebrate,

tn Grk “And bring.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

tn Or “the prize calf” (L&N 65.8). See also L&N 44.2, “grain-fattened.” Such a calf was usually reserved for religious celebrations.

tn The participle φαγόντες (fagontes) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
