Luke:15:1-16:31

ukjv@Luke:15:1 @ Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners in order to hear him.

ukjv@Luke:15:2 @ And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.

ukjv@Luke:15:3 @ And he spoke this parable unto them, saying,

ukjv@Luke:15:4 @ 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 that which is lost, until he find it?

ukjv@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

ukjv@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

ukjv@Luke:15:7 @ I say unto 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.

ukjv@Luke:15:8 @ 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 till she find it?

ukjv@Luke:15:9 @ 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.

ukjv@Luke:15:10 @ Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.

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

ukjv@Luke:15:12 @ And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided unto them his living.

ukjv@Luke:15:13 @ 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.

ukjv@Luke:15:14 @ And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in lack.

ukjv@Luke:15:15 @ And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

ukjv@Luke:15:16 @ And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

ukjv@Luke:15:17 @ 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!

ukjv@Luke:15:18 @ I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,

ukjv@Luke:15:19 @ And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.

ukjv@Luke:15:20 @ 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.

ukjv@Luke:15:21 @ And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.

ukjv@Luke:15:22 @ 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:

ukjv@Luke:15:23 @ And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

ukjv@Luke:15:24 @ For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

ukjv@Luke:15:25 @ Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.

ukjv@Luke:15:26 @ And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

ukjv@Luke:15:27 @ And he said unto him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.

ukjv@Luke:15:28 @ And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and implored him.

ukjv@Luke:15:29 @ 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:

ukjv@Luke:15:30 @ But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.

ukjv@Luke:15:31 @ And he said unto him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.

ukjv@Luke:15:32 @ 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.

ukjv@Luke:16:1 @ And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

ukjv@Luke:16:2 @ And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account (o. logos) of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.

ukjv@Luke:16:3 @ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

ukjv@Luke:16:4 @ I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

ukjv@Luke:16:5 @ So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owe you unto my lord?

ukjv@Luke:16:6 @ And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

ukjv@Luke:16:7 @ Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.

ukjv@Luke:16:8 @ And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

ukjv@Luke:16:9 @ And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when all of you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

ukjv@Luke:16:10 @ He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

ukjv@Luke:16:11 @ If therefore all of you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

ukjv@Luke:16:12 @ And if all of you have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

ukjv@Luke:16:13 @ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. All of you cannot serve God and mammon.

ukjv@Luke:16:14 @ And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

ukjv@Luke:16:15 @ And he said unto them, All of you are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

ukjv@Luke:16:16 @ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.

ukjv@Luke:16:17 @ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

ukjv@Luke:16:18 @ Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.

ukjv@Luke:16:19 @ There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

ukjv@Luke:16:20 @ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

ukjv@Luke:16:21 @ And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

ukjv@Luke:16:22 @ And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

ukjv@Luke:16:23 @ And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

ukjv@Luke:16:24 @ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

ukjv@Luke:16:25 @ But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.

ukjv@Luke:16:26 @ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from behind to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

ukjv@Luke:16:27 @ Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house:

ukjv@Luke:16:28 @ For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

ukjv@Luke:16:29 @ Abraham says unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

ukjv@Luke:16:30 @ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

ukjv@Luke:16:31 @ And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
