*
Then drew near (
5713 ) (
5723 )
unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear (
5721 )
him .
*
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured (
5707 ),
saying (
5723 ),
This man receiveth (
5736 )
sinners ,
and eateth (
5719 )
with them .
*
And he spake (
5627 )
this parable unto them ,
saying (
5723 ),
*
What man of you ,
having (
5723 )
an hundred sheep ,
if he lose (
5660 )
one of them ,
doth not leave (
5719 )
the ninety and nine in the wilderness ,
and go (
5736 )
after that which is lost (
5756 ),
until he find (
5632 )
it ?
*
And when he hath found (
5631 )
it ,
he layeth (
5719 )
it on his shoulders ,
rejoicing (
5723 ).
*
And when he cometh (
5631 )
home ,
he calleth together (
5719 )
his friends and neighbours ,
saying (
5723 )
unto them ,
Rejoice (
5645 )
with me ;
for I have found (
5627 )
my sheep which was lost (
5756 ).
*
I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
that likewise joy shall be (
5704 )
in heaven over one sinner that repenteth (
5723 ),
more than over ninety and nine just persons ,
which need (
5719 )
no repentance .
*
Either what woman having (
5723 )
ten pieces of silver ,
if she lose (
5661 )
one piece ,
doth not light (
5719 )
a candle ,
and sweep (
5719 )
the house ,
and seek (
5719 )
diligently till she find (
5632 )
it ?
*
And when she hath found (
5631 )
it ,
she calleth her friends and her neighbours together (
5731 ),
saying (
5723 ),
Rejoice (
5645 )
with me ;
for I have found (
5627 )
the piece which I had lost (
5656 ).
*
Likewise ,
I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
there is (
5736 )
joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth (
5723 ).
*
And he said (
5627 ),
A certain man had (
5707 )
two sons :
*
And the younger of them said (
5627 )
to his father ,
Father ,
give (
5628 )
me the portion of goods that falleth (
5723 )
to me .
And he divided (
5627 )
unto them his living .
*
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together (
5631 ),
and took his journey (
5656 )
into a far country ,
and there wasted (
5656 )
his substance with riotous living (
5723 ).
*
And when he had spent (
5660 )
all ,
there arose (
5633 )
a mighty famine in that land ;
and he began (
5662 )
to be in want (
5745 ).
*
And he went (
5679 )
and joined himself (
5681 )
to a citizen of that country ;
and he sent (
5656 )
him into his fields to feed (
5721 )
swine .
*
And he would fain (
5707 )
have filled (
5658 )
his belly with the husks that the swine did eat (
5707 ):
and no man gave (
5707 )
unto him .
*
And when he came (
5631 )
to himself ,
he said (
5627 ),
How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare (
5719 ),
and I perish (
5731 )
with hunger !
*
I will arise (
5631 )
and go (
5695 )
to my father ,
and will say (
5692 )
unto him ,
Father ,
I have sinned (
5627 )
against heaven ,
and before thee ,
*
And am (
5748 )
no more worthy to be called (
5683 )
thy son :
make (
5657 )
me as one of thy hired servants .
*
And he arose (
5631 ),
and came (
5627 )
to his father .
But when he was yet a great way off (
5723 ),
his father saw (
5627 )
him ,
and had compassion (
5675 ),
and ran (
5631 ),
and fell (
5627 )
on his neck ,
and kissed (
5656 )
him .
*
And the son said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Father ,
I have sinned (
5627 )
against heaven ,
and in thy sight ,
and am (
5748 )
no more worthy to be called (
5683 )
thy son .
*
But the father said (
5627 )
to his servants ,
Bring forth (
5657 )
the best robe ,
and put it on (
5657 )
him ;
and put (
5628 )
a ring on his hand ,
and shoes on his feet :
*
And bring hither (
5660 )
the fatted calf ,
and kill (
5657 )
it ;
and let us eat (
5631 ),
and be merry (
5686 ):
*
For this my son was (
5713 )
dead ,
and is alive again (
5656 );
he was (
5713 )
lost (
5756 ),
and is found (
5681 ).
And they began (
5662 )
to be merry (
5745 ).
*
Now his elder son was (
5713 )
in the field :
and as he came (
5740 )
and drew nigh (
5656 )
to the house ,
he heard (
5656 )
musick and dancing .
*
And he called (
5666 )
one of the servants ,
and asked (
5711 )
what these things meant (
5751 ).
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Thy brother is come (
5719 );
and thy father hath killed (
5656 )
the fatted calf ,
because he hath received (
5627 )
him safe and sound (
5723 ).
*
And he was angry (
5681 ),
and would (
5707 )
not go in (
5629 ):
therefore came his father out (
5631 ),
and intreated (
5707 )
him .
*
And he answering (
5679 )
said (
5627 )
to his father ,
Lo (
5628 ),
these many years do I serve (
5719 )
thee ,
neither transgressed I (
5627 )
at any time thy commandment :
and yet thou never gavest (
5656 )
me a kid ,
that I might make merry (
5686 )
with my friends :
*
But as soon as this thy son was come (
5627 ),
which hath devoured (
5631 )
thy living with harlots ,
thou hast killed (
5656 )
for him the fatted calf .
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Son ,
thou art (
5748 )
ever with me ,
and all that I have is (
5748 )
thine .
*
It was meet (
5713 )
that we should make merry (
5683 ),
and be glad (
5646 ):
for this thy brother was (
5713 )
dead ,
and is alive again (
5656 );
and was (
5713 )
lost (
5756 ),
and is found (
5681 ).
