23: και ενεγκαντες τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντες ευφρανθωμεν— edit Textus Receptus
23: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:- edit KJV text
23: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it: and let us eat and make merry:— edit Douay text



Be merry. Literally, "eating, let us rejoice." The word merry does not quite express the meaning of the Greek. Merriment denotes a light, playful, jovial mirth. The Greek denotes simply joy -- let us be happy, or joyful.
