ylt @Luke:15:1 @And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him , to hear him , ylt @Luke:15:2 @and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring , saying -- This one doth receive sinners , and doth eat with them .' ylt @Luke:15:3 @And he spake unto them this simile , saying , ylt @Luke:15:4 @'What man of you having a hundred sheep , and having lost one out of them , doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness , and go on after the lost one , till he may find it ? ylt @Luke:15:5 @and having found , he doth lay [it ] on his shoulders rejoicing , ylt @Luke:15:6 @and having come to the house , he doth call together the friends and the neighbours , saying to them , Rejoice with me , because I found my sheep -- the lost one . ylt @Luke:15:7 @'I say to you , that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming , rather than over ninety-nine righteous men , who have no need of reformation . ylt @Luke:15:8 @'Or what woman having ten drachms , if she may lose one drachm , doth not light a lamp , and sweep the house , and seek carefully till that she may find ? ylt @Luke:15:9 @and having found , she doth call together the female friends and the neighbours , saying , Rejoice with me , for I found the drachm that I lost . ylt @Luke:15:10 @'So I say to you , joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming .' ylt @Luke:15:11 @And he said , 'A certain man had two sons , ylt @Luke:15:12 @and the younger of them said to the father , Father , give me the portion of the substance falling to [me ], and he divided to them the living . ylt @Luke:15:13 @'And not many days after , having gathered all together , the younger son went abroad to a far country , and there he scattered his substance , living riotously ; ylt @Luke:15:14 @and he having spent all , there came a mighty famine on that country , and himself began to be in want ; ylt @Luke:15:15 @and having gone on , he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country , and he sent him to the fields to feed swine , ylt @Luke:15:16 @and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating , and no one was giving to him .
