Luke:15:1-7




bbe@Luke:15:1 @Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.

bbe@Luke:15:2 @And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.

bbe@Luke:15:3 @And he made a story for them, saying,

bbe@Luke:15:4 @What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

bbe@Luke:15:5 @And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.

bbe@Luke:15:6 @And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.

bbe@Luke:15:7 @I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.
