Luke 15:1
Then
drew
near
°
unto
him
all
the
publicans
and
sinners
for to
hear
him.
2
And
the
Pharisees
and
scribes
murmured,
saying,
This
man
°
receiveth
sinners,
and
eateth
with
them.
3
And
he
spake
this
parable
unto
them,
saying,
4
What
man
of
you,
having
an
hundred
sheep,
if
he
lose
one
of
them,
doth
not
leave
the ninety and
nine
in
the
wilderness,
and
go
after
that which is
lost,
until
he
find
it?
5
And
when he hath
found
it, he
layeth
it
on
his
shoulders,
rejoicing.
6
And
when he
cometh
°
home,
he calleth
together
his
friends
and
neighbours,
saying
unto
them,
Rejoice
with
me;
for
I have
found
my
sheep
which
was
lost.
7
I
say
unto
you,
that
likewise
joy
shall
be
in
heaven
over
one
sinner
that
repenteth,
more
than
over
ninety and
nine
just
persons,
which
need
°
no
repentance.
8
Either
what
woman
having
ten
pieces of
silver,
if
she
lose
one
piece,
doth
not
light
a
candle,
and
sweep
the
house,
and
seek
diligently
till
she
find
it?
9
And
when she hath
found
it, she
calleth
her
friends
and
her
neighbours
together,
saying,
Rejoice
with
me;
for
I have
found
the
piece
which
I had
lost.
10
Likewise,
I
say
unto
you,
there
is
joy
in the
presence
of the
angels
of
God
over
one
sinner
that
repenteth.
11
And
he
said,
A
certain
man
had
two
sons:
12
And
the
younger
of
them
said
to his
father,
Father,
give
me
the
portion
of
goods
that
falleth
to me.
And
he
divided
unto
them
his
living.
13
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.
14
And
when
he
had
spent
all,
there
arose
a
mighty
famine
in
that
land;
and
he
began
to be in
want.
15
And
he
went
and joined
himself
to
a
citizen
of
that
country;
and
he
sent
him
into
his
fields
to
feed
swine.
16
And
he would
fain
have
filled
his
belly
with
the
husks
that
the
swine
did
eat:
and
no
man
gave
unto
him.
17
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!
18
I will
arise
and
go
to
my
father,
and
will
say
unto
him,
Father,
I have
sinned
against
heaven,
and
before
thee,
19
And
am
no
more
worthy
to be
called
thy
son:
make
me
as
one
of
thy
hired
servants.
20
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.
21
And
the
son
said
unto
him,
Father,
I have
sinned
against
heaven,
and
in
thy
sight,
and
am
no
more
worthy
to be
called
thy
son.
22
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:
23
And
bring
hither
the
fatted
calf,
and
kill
it;
and
let us
eat,
and be
merry:
24
For
this
my
son
was
dead,
and
is alive
again;
he
was
lost,
and
is
found.
And
they
began
to
be merry.
25
Now
his
elder
son
was
in
the
field:
and
as
he
came
and drew
nigh
to the
house,
he
heard
music
and
dancing.
26
And
he
called
one
of the
servants,
and
asked
what
these
things
meant.
27
And
he
said
unto
him,
Thy
brother
is
come;
and
thy
father
hath
killed
the
fatted
calf,
because
he
hath received
him
safe
and sound.
28
And
he was
angry,
and
would
not
go
in:
therefore
came
his
father
out,
and
entreated
him.
29
And
he
answering
said
to his
father,
Lo,
these
many
years
do I
serve
thee,
neither
transgressed
I
at any
time
thy
commandment:
and
yet
thou
never
gavest
me
a
kid,
that
I might make
merry
with
my
friends:
30
But
as soon
as
this
thy
son
was
come,
which
hath
devoured
thy
living
with
harlots,
thou hast
killed
for
him
the
fatted
calf.
31
And
he
said
unto
him,
Son,
thou
art
ever
with
me,
and
all
that I
have
is
thine.
32
It
was
meet
that we should make
merry,
and
be
glad:
for
this
thy
brother
was
dead,
and
is alive
again;
and
was
lost,
and
is
found.
