rotherham@Luke:15:1 @ But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;

rotherham@Luke:15:2 @ and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.

rotherham@Luke:15:3 @ And he spake unto them this parable, saying

rotherham@Luke:15:4 @ What man from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it?

rotherham@Luke:15:5 @ And, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing;

rotherham@Luke:15:6 @ and, coming unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto them Rejoice with me! because I have found my sheep that was lost!

rotherham@Luke:15:7 @ I say unto you Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.

rotherham@Luke:15:8 @ Or, what woman, having, ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, until she find it?

rotherham@Luke:15:9 @ And, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.

rotherham@Luke:15:10 @ Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.

rotherham@Luke:15:11 @ And he said A certain man, had two sons.

rotherham@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said unto the father Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the living.

rotherham@Luke:15:13 @ And, after not many days, the younger son, gathering all together, left home for a country far away, and, there, squandered his substance with riotous living.

rotherham@Luke:15:14 @ And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout that country, and, he, began to be in want.

rotherham@Luke:15:15 @ And he went his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine.

rotherham@Luke:15:16 @ And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.

rotherham@Luke:15:17 @ But coming, to himself, he said How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!

rotherham@Luke:15:18 @ I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:

rotherham@Luke:15:19 @ No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.

rotherham@Luke:15:20 @ Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly kissed him.

rotherham@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said unto him Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, make me as one of thy hired servants.

rotherham@Luke:15:22 @ But the father said unto his servants Quick! bring forth a robethe best! and put on him, and get out a ring for his hand, and sandals for his feet.

rotherham@Luke:15:23 @ And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! and let us eat and make merry:

rotherham@Luke:15:24 @ Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.

rotherham@Luke:15:25 @ But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing,

rotherham@Luke:15:26 @ and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.

rotherham@Luke:15:27 @ And, he, said unto him, Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.

rotherham@Luke:15:28 @ But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, coming out, began to entreat him.

rotherham@Luke:15:29 @ But, he, answering said unto his father Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;

rotherham@Luke:15:30 @ But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;

rotherham@Luke:15:31 @ But, he, said unto him Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, is, thine;

rotherham@Luke:15:32 @ But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brotherwas, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.
