Luke

Chapter 15

1 THEN the publicans and sinners drew near to him to hear him.

2 And the scribes and Pharisees murmured, saying, He receives even the sinners and eats with them.

3 So Jesus told them this parable,

4 What man among you has one hundred sheep, and if one of them should get lost, would he not leave the ninety and nine in the open, and go in search of the one which is lost, until he finds it?

5 And when he finds it he rejoices, and he takes it on his shoulders.

6 And he comes to his house, and invites his friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say to you, that such will be the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety and nine righteous, who need no repentance.

8 Or what woman who has ten coins, and should lose one of them, would not light a lamp and sweep the house, and search for it carefully, until she finds it?

9 And when she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my coin which was lost.

10 I say to you, that such will be the joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

11 And Jesus said to them again, A man had two sons;

12 And his younger son said to him, My father, give me the portion, which is coming to me from your house. And he divided to them his possessions.

13 And after a few days, his younger son gathered everything that was his share, and went to a far-away country, and there he scattered his wealth in extravagant living.

14 And when all he had was gone, there was a severe famine in that country; and he began to be in need.

15 So he went and got acquainted with one of the men of the city of that country; and he sent him to the field to feed the swine.

16 And he craved to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating; and yet no man would give him.

17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired workers are now in my father's house, who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger!

18 I will rise and go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven, and before you;

19 And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers.

20 And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

21 And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son.

22 But his father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;

23 And bring and kill the fat ox, and let us eat and be merry;

24 For this my son was dead, and has come to life; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

25 But his elder son was in the field; and as he came near the house, he heard the voice of the singing of many.

26 And he called one of the boys, and asked him what it was all about.

27 He said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fat ox, because he received him safe and well.

28 And he became angry and would not go in; so his father came out and besought him.

29 But he said to his father, Behold, how many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your commandment; and yet you never gave me even a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.

30 But for this son of yours, after he had wasted your wealth with harlots and come back, you have killed the fat ox.

31 His father said to him, My son, you are always with me, and everything which is mine is yours.

32 It was right for us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead and has come to life; and was lost and is found.

Luke

Chapter 15

1 Then1161 drew near1448 to him all3956 the publicans5057 and sinners268 for to hear191 him.

2 And the Pharisees5330 and scribes1122 murmured,1234 saying,3004 This3778 man receives4327 sinners,268 and eats4906 with them.

3 And he spoke2036 this5026 parable3850 to them, saying,3004

4 What5101 man444 of you, having2192 an hundred1540 sheep,4263 if he lose622 one1520 of them, does not leave2641 the ninety1768 and nine1768 in the wilderness,2048 and go4198 after1909 that which is lost,622 until2193 he find2147 it?

5 And when he has found2147 it, he lays2007 it on1909 his shoulders,5606 rejoicing.5463

6 And when he comes2064 home,3624 he calls4779 together4779 his friends5384 and neighbors,1069 saying3004 to them, Rejoice4796 with me; for I have found2147 my sheep4263 which3588 was lost.622

7 I say3004 to you, that likewise3779 joy5479 shall be in heaven3772 over1909 one1520 sinner268 that repents,3340 more than2228 over1909 ninety1768 and nine1768 just1342 persons, which3748 need2192 5532 no3756 repentance.3341

8 Either2228 what5101 woman1135 having2192 ten1176 pieces1406 of silver,1406 if1437 she lose622 one3391 piece,1406 does not light681 a candle,3088 and sweep4563 the house,3614 and seek2212 diligently1960 till2193 she find2147 it?

9 And when she has found2147 it, she calls4779 her friends5384 and her neighbors1069 together,4779 saying,3004 Rejoice4796 with me; for I have found2147 the piece1406 which3739 I had lost.622

10 Likewise,3779 I say3004 to you, there is joy5479 in the presence1799 of the angels32 of God2316 over1909 one1520 sinner268 that repents.3340

11 And he said,2036 A certain5100 man444 had2192 two1417 sons:5207

12 And the younger3501 of them said2036 to his father,3962 Father,3962 give1325 me the portion3313 of goods3776 that falls1911 to me. And he divided1244 to them his living.979

13 And not many4183 days2250 after3326 the younger3501 son5207 gathered4863 all537 together,4863 and took589 his journey589 into1519 a far3117 country,5561 and there1563 wasted1287 his substance3776 with riotous811 living.2198

14 And when he had spent1159 all,3956 there arose1096 a mighty2478 famine3042 in that land;5561 and he began756 to be in want.5302

15 And he went4198 and joined2853 himself1438 to a citizen4177 of that country;5561 and he sent3992 him into1519 his fields68 to feed1006 swine.5519

16 And he would fain1937 have filled1072 his belly2836 with the husks2769 that the swine5519 did eat:2068 and no3762 man3762 gave1325 to him.

17 And when he came2064 to himself,1438 he said,2036 How4214 many4214 hired3407 servants3407 of my father's3962 have bread740 enough4052 and to spare,4052 and I perish622 with hunger!3042

18 I will arise450 and go4198 to my father,3962 and will say2046 to him, Father,3962 I have sinned264 against1519 heaven,3772 and before1799 you,

19 And am1510 no3765 more3765 worthy514 to be called2564 your son:5207 make4160 me as one1520 of your hired3407 servants.3407

20 And he arose,450 and came2064 to his father.3962 But when he was yet2089 a great3112 way3112 off,568 his father3962 saw1492 him, and had compassion,4697 and ran,5143 and fell1968 on1909 his neck,5137 and kissed2705 him.

21 And the son5207 said2036 to him, Father,3962 I have sinned264 against1519 heaven,3772 and in your sight,1799 and am1510 no3765 more3765 worthy514 to be called2564 your son.5207

22 But the father3962 said2036 to his servants,1401 Bring1627 forth1627 the best4413 robe,4749 and put1746 it on1746 him; and put1325 a ring1146 on1519 his hand,5495 and shoes5266 on1519 his feet:4228

23 And bring5342 here5602 the fatted4618 calf,3448 and kill2380 it; and let us eat,5315 and be merry:2165

24 For this3778 my son5207 was dead,3498 and is alive326 again;326 he was lost,622 and is found.2147 And they began756 to be merry.2165

25 Now1161 his elder4245 son5207 was in the field:68 and as he came2064 and drew near1448 to the house,3614 he heard191 music4858 and dancing.5525

26 And he called4341 one1520 of the servants,3816 and asked4441 what5101 these5023 things meant.1498

27 And he said2036 to him, Your brother80 is come;2240 and your father3962 has killed2380 the fatted4618 calf,3448 because3754 he has received618 him safe5198 and sound.5198

28 And he was angry,3710 and would2309 not go1525 in: therefore3767 came1831 his father3962 out, and entreated3870 him.

29 And he answering611 said2036 to his father,3962 See,2400 these5118 many5118 years2094 do I serve1398 you, neither3763 transgressed3928 I at3763 any3763 time your commandment:1785 and yet you never3763 gave1325 me a kid,2056 that I might make2165 merry2165 with my friends:5384

30 But as soon3753 as this3778 your son5207 was come,2064 which3588 has devoured2719 your living979 with harlots,4204 you have killed2380 for him the fatted4618 calf.3448

31 And he said2036 to him, Son,5043 you are1488 ever3842 with me, and all3956 that I have1699 is yours.4674

32 It was meet1163 that we should make2165 merry,2165 and be glad:5463 for this3778 your brother80 was dead,3498 and is alive326 again;326 and was lost,622 and is found.2147

Chapter 15

1 THEN the publicans and sinners drew near to him to hear him.

1 Then1161 drew near1448 to him all3956 the publicans5057 and sinners268 for to hear191 him.

2 And the scribes and Pharisees murmured, saying, He receives even the sinners and eats with them.

2 And the Pharisees5330 and scribes1122 murmured,1234 saying,3004 This3778 man receives4327 sinners,268 and eats4906 with them.

3 So Jesus told them this parable,

3 And he spoke2036 this5026 parable3850 to them, saying,3004

4 What man among you has one hundred sheep, and if one of them should get lost, would he not leave the ninety and nine in the open, and go in search of the one which is lost, until he finds it?

4 What5101 man444 of you, having2192 an hundred1540 sheep,4263 if he lose622 one1520 of them, does not leave2641 the ninety1768 and nine1768 in the wilderness,2048 and go4198 after1909 that which is lost,622 until2193 he find2147 it?

5 And when he finds it he rejoices, and he takes it on his shoulders.

5 And when he has found2147 it, he lays2007 it on1909 his shoulders,5606 rejoicing.5463

6 And he comes to his house, and invites his friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.

6 And when he comes2064 home,3624 he calls4779 together4779 his friends5384 and neighbors,1069 saying3004 to them, Rejoice4796 with me; for I have found2147 my sheep4263 which3588 was lost.622

7 I say to you, that such will be the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety and nine righteous, who need no repentance.

7 I say3004 to you, that likewise3779 joy5479 shall be in heaven3772 over1909 one1520 sinner268 that repents,3340 more than2228 over1909 ninety1768 and nine1768 just1342 persons, which3748 need2192 5532 no3756 repentance.3341

8 Or what woman who has ten coins, and should lose one of them, would not light a lamp and sweep the house, and search for it carefully, until she finds it?

8 Either2228 what5101 woman1135 having2192 ten1176 pieces1406 of silver,1406 if1437 she lose622 one3391 piece,1406 does not light681 a candle,3088 and sweep4563 the house,3614 and seek2212 diligently1960 till2193 she find2147 it?

9 And when she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my coin which was lost.

9 And when she has found2147 it, she calls4779 her friends5384 and her neighbors1069 together,4779 saying,3004 Rejoice4796 with me; for I have found2147 the piece1406 which3739 I had lost.622

10 I say to you, that such will be the joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

10 Likewise,3779 I say3004 to you, there is joy5479 in the presence1799 of the angels32 of God2316 over1909 one1520 sinner268 that repents.3340

11 And Jesus said to them again, A man had two sons;

11 And he said,2036 A certain5100 man444 had2192 two1417 sons:5207

12 And his younger son said to him, My father, give me the portion, which is coming to me from your house. And he divided to them his possessions.

12 And the younger3501 of them said2036 to his father,3962 Father,3962 give1325 me the portion3313 of goods3776 that falls1911 to me. And he divided1244 to them his living.979

13 And after a few days, his younger son gathered everything that was his share, and went to a far-away country, and there he scattered his wealth in extravagant living.

13 And not many4183 days2250 after3326 the younger3501 son5207 gathered4863 all537 together,4863 and took589 his journey589 into1519 a far3117 country,5561 and there1563 wasted1287 his substance3776 with riotous811 living.2198

14 And when all he had was gone, there was a severe famine in that country; and he began to be in need.

14 And when he had spent1159 all,3956 there arose1096 a mighty2478 famine3042 in that land;5561 and he began756 to be in want.5302

15 So he went and got acquainted with one of the men of the city of that country; and he sent him to the field to feed the swine.

15 And he went4198 and joined2853 himself1438 to a citizen4177 of that country;5561 and he sent3992 him into1519 his fields68 to feed1006 swine.5519

16 And he craved to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating; and yet no man would give him.

16 And he would fain1937 have filled1072 his belly2836 with the husks2769 that the swine5519 did eat:2068 and no3762 man3762 gave1325 to him.

17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired workers are now in my father's house, who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger!

17 And when he came2064 to himself,1438 he said,2036 How4214 many4214 hired3407 servants3407 of my father's3962 have bread740 enough4052 and to spare,4052 and I perish622 with hunger!3042

18 I will rise and go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven, and before you;

18 I will arise450 and go4198 to my father,3962 and will say2046 to him, Father,3962 I have sinned264 against1519 heaven,3772 and before1799 you,

19 And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers.

19 And am1510 no3765 more3765 worthy514 to be called2564 your son:5207 make4160 me as one1520 of your hired3407 servants.3407

20 And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

20 And he arose,450 and came2064 to his father.3962 But when he was yet2089 a great3112 way3112 off,568 his father3962 saw1492 him, and had compassion,4697 and ran,5143 and fell1968 on1909 his neck,5137 and kissed2705 him.

21 And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son.

21 And the son5207 said2036 to him, Father,3962 I have sinned264 against1519 heaven,3772 and in your sight,1799 and am1510 no3765 more3765 worthy514 to be called2564 your son.5207

22 But his father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet;

22 But the father3962 said2036 to his servants,1401 Bring1627 forth1627 the best4413 robe,4749 and put1746 it on1746 him; and put1325 a ring1146 on1519 his hand,5495 and shoes5266 on1519 his feet:4228

23 And bring and kill the fat ox, and let us eat and be merry;

23 And bring5342 here5602 the fatted4618 calf,3448 and kill2380 it; and let us eat,5315 and be merry:2165

24 For this my son was dead, and has come to life; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

24 For this3778 my son5207 was dead,3498 and is alive326 again;326 he was lost,622 and is found.2147 And they began756 to be merry.2165

25 But his elder son was in the field; and as he came near the house, he heard the voice of the singing of many.

25 Now1161 his elder4245 son5207 was in the field:68 and as he came2064 and drew near1448 to the house,3614 he heard191 music4858 and dancing.5525

26 And he called one of the boys, and asked him what it was all about.

26 And he called4341 one1520 of the servants,3816 and asked4441 what5101 these5023 things meant.1498

27 He said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fat ox, because he received him safe and well.

27 And he said2036 to him, Your brother80 is come;2240 and your father3962 has killed2380 the fatted4618 calf,3448 because3754 he has received618 him safe5198 and sound.5198

28 And he became angry and would not go in; so his father came out and besought him.

28 And he was angry,3710 and would2309 not go1525 in: therefore3767 came1831 his father3962 out, and entreated3870 him.

29 But he said to his father, Behold, how many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your commandment; and yet you never gave me even a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.

29 And he answering611 said2036 to his father,3962 See,2400 these5118 many5118 years2094 do I serve1398 you, neither3763 transgressed3928 I at3763 any3763 time your commandment:1785 and yet you never3763 gave1325 me a kid,2056 that I might make2165 merry2165 with my friends:5384

30 But for this son of yours, after he had wasted your wealth with harlots and come back, you have killed the fat ox.

30 But as soon3753 as this3778 your son5207 was come,2064 which3588 has devoured2719 your living979 with harlots,4204 you have killed2380 for him the fatted4618 calf.3448

31 His father said to him, My son, you are always with me, and everything which is mine is yours.

31 And he said2036 to him, Son,5043 you are1488 ever3842 with me, and all3956 that I have1699 is yours.4674

32 It was right for us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead and has come to life; and was lost and is found.

32 It was meet1163 that we should make2165 merry,2165 and be glad:5463 for this3778 your brother80 was dead,3498 and is alive326 again;326 and was lost,622 and is found.2147
