* Were and drawing near to him all the tax –gathers and the sinners , to hear him . * And murmured the Pharisees and the scribes , saying : That this sinners receives , and eats with them . * He said and to them the parable this , saying : * What man of you having a hundred sheep , and having lost one of them , not leaves behind the ninety –nine in the desert , and goes after that having been lost , till he may find it ? * And having found , he lays on the shoulders of himself rejoicing ; * and coming into the house he calls together the friends and the neighbors , saying to them : Rejoice with me , for I found the sheep of me that having been lost . * I say to you , that thus joy will be in the heaven over one sinner reforming , than over ninety –nine just ones , who no need have of reformation . * Or what woman , drachmas having ten , if she may lose drachma one , not lights a lamp , and sweeps the house , and seeks carefully , till she finds ? * And having found she calling together the friends and the neighbors , saying : Rejoice with me , for I found the drachma , which I lost . * Thus , I say to you , joy produced in presence of the messengers of the God over one sinner reforming . * He said and : A man certain had two sons . * And said to younger of them to the father : O father , give to me the falling to part of the property . And he divided to them the living . * And after not many days having gathered together all the younger son , went abroad into a country distant ; and there wasted the property of himself , living dissolutely . * Having expended and of him all , came a famine mighty throughout the country that ; and he began to be in want . * And having gone he united with one of the citizens of the country that ; and he sent him into the fields of himself to feed swine . * And he longed to fill the belly of himself from the pods , which were eating the swine ; and no one gave to him .
