Luke Chapter 15|#11 Then drew near to him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.#22 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.#23 And he spoke this parable to them, saying,#24 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after which is lost, until he find it?#25 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.#26 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.#27 I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.|*28 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?#29 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.#210 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.|*211 And he said, A certain man had two sons:#212 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.#213 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.#214 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.#215 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.#216 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: And no one gave to him.#217 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!#218 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,#219 And am no more worthy to be called your son: Make me as one of your hired servants.#220 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.#221 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.#222 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:#223 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:#224 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.|*225 Now his elder son was in the field: And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard musick and dancing.#226 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.#227 And he said to him, your brother comes; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.#228 And he was angry, and would not go in: Therefore came his father out, and intreated him.#229 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: And yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:#230 But as soon as this your son had arrived, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.#231 And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is your.#232 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: For this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
