Luke 15
New International Version (1984) Help
15Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him.G1161G2258G1448G846G3956G5057G2532G268G191G846
2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."G2532G5330G2532G1122G1234G3004G3754G3778G4327G268G2532G4906G846
3Then Jesus told them this parable:G1161G2036G5026G3850G4314G846G3004
4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?G5101G444G1537G5216G2192G1540G4263G2532G622G1520G1537G846G2641G3756G2641G1768G1722G2048G2532G4198G1909G622G2193G2147G846
5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shouldersG2532G2147G2007G1909G1438G5606G5463
6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'G2532G2064G1519G3624G4779G5384G2532G1069G3004G846G4796G3427G3754G2147G3450G4263G3588G622
7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.G3004G5213G3754G3779G5479G2071G1722G3772G1909G1520G268G3340G2228G1909G1768G1342G3748G2192G5532G3756G3341
8"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?G2228G5101G1135G2192G1176G1406G1437G622G3391G1406G3780G681G3088G2532G4563G3614G2532G2212G1960G2193G3755G2147
9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.'G2532G2147G4779G5384G2532G1069G4779G3004G4796G3427G3754G2147G1406G3739G622
10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."G3779G3004G5213G1096G5479G1799G32G2316G1909G1520G268G3340
11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons.G1161G2036G5100G444G2192G1417G5207
12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.G2532G3501G846G2036G3962G3962G1325G3427G3313G3776G1911G2532G1244G846G979
13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.G2532G3756G4183G2250G3326G3501G5207G4863G537G4863G589G1519G3117G5561G2532G1563G1287G846G3776G811G2198
14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.G1161G846G1159G3956G1096G2478G3042G2596G1565G5561G2532G846G756G5302
15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.G2532G4198G2853G1520G4177G1565G5561G2532G3992G846G1519G846G68G1006G5519
16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.G2532G1937G1072G846G2836G575G2769G3739G5519G2068G2532G3762G1325G846
17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!G1161G2064G1519G1438G2036G4214G3407G3450G3962G740G4052G1161G1473G622G3042
18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.G450G4198G4314G3450G3962G2532G2046G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675
19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.'G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207G4160G3165G5613G1520G4675G3407
20So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.G2532G450G2064G4314G1438G3962G1161G846G2089G3112G568G846G3962G1492G846G2532G4697G2532G5143G1968G1909G846G5137G2532G2705G846
21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'G1161G5207G2036G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675G1799G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207
22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.G1161G3962G2036G4314G846G1401G1627G4413G4749G2532G1746G846G2532G1325G1146G1519G846G5495G2532G5266G1519G4228
23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate.G2532G5342G4618G3448G2380G2532G5315G2165
24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.G3754G3778G3450G5207G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147G2532G756G2165
25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.G1161G846G4245G5207G2258G1722G68G2532G5613G2064G1448G3614G191G4858G2532G5525
26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.G2532G4341G1520G3816G4441G5101G5023G1498
27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'G1161G2036G846G3754G4675G80G2240G2532G4675G3962G2380G4618G3448G3754G618G846G5198
28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.G1161G3710G2532G2309G3756G1525G3767G1831G846G3962G1831G3870G846
29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.G1161G611G2036G3962G2400G5118G2094G1398G4671G3763G3928G3763G4675G1785G2532G2532G1325G3763G1325G1698G2056G2443G2165G3326G3450G5384
30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'G1161G3753G3778G4675G5207G2064G3588G2719G4675G979G3326G4204G2380G846G4618G3448
31"'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.G1161G2036G846G5043G4771G1488G3842G3326G1700G2532G3956G1699G2076G4674
32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"G1161G1163G2165G2532G5463G3754G3778G4675G80G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147
