The Parable of the Lost Sheep

15Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.G1161G2258G1448G846G3956G5057G2532G268G191G846 2And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them."G2532G5330G2532G1122G1234G3004G3754G3778G4327G268G2532G4906G846 3So He spoke this parable to them, saying:G1161G2036G5026G3850G4314G846G3004 4"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?G5101G444G1537G5216G2192G1540G4263G2532G622G1520G1537G846G2641G3756G2641G1768G1722G2048G2532G4198G1909G622G2193G2147G846 5"And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.G2532G2147G2007G1909G1438G5606G5463 6"And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'G2532G2064G1519G3624G4779G5384G2532G1069G3004G846G4796G3427G3754G2147G3450G4263G3588G622 7"I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.G3004G5213G3754G3779G5479G2071G1722G3772G1909G1520G268G3340G2228G1909G1768G1342G3748G2192G5532G3756G3341

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?G2228G5101G1135G2192G1176G1406G1437G622G3391G1406G3780G681G3088G2532G4563G3614G2532G2212G1960G2193G3755G2147 9"And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!'G2532G2147G4779G5384G2532G1069G4779G3004G4796G3427G3754G2147G1406G3739G622 10"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."G3779G3004G5213G1096G5479G1799G32G2316G1909G1520G268G3340

The Parable of the Lost Son

11Then He said: "A certain man had two sons.G1161G2036G5100G444G2192G1417G5207 12"And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood.G2532G3501G846G2036G3962G3962G1325G3427G3313G3776G1911G2532G1244G846G979 13"And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.G2532G3756G4183G2250G3326G3501G5207G4863G537G4863G589G1519G3117G5561G2532G1563G1287G846G3776G811G2198 14"But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.G1161G846G1159G3956G1096G2478G3042G2596G1565G5561G2532G846G756G5302 15"Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.G2532G4198G2853G1520G4177G1565G5561G2532G3992G846G1519G846G68G1006G5519 16"And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.G2532G1937G1072G846G2836G575G2769G3739G5519G2068G2532G3762G1325G846 17"But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!G1161G2064G1519G1438G2036G4214G3407G3450G3962G740G4052G1161G1473G622G3042 18'I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,G450G4198G4314G3450G3962G2532G2046G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675 19"and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."'G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207G4160G3165G5613G1520G4675G3407 20"And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.G2532G450G2064G4314G1438G3962G1161G846G2089G3112G568G846G3962G1492G846G2532G4697G2532G5143G1968G1909G846G5137G2532G2705G846 21"And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.'G1161G5207G2036G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675G1799G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207 22"But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.G1161G3962G2036G4314G846G1401G1627G4413G4749G2532G1746G846G2532G1325G1146G1519G846G5495G2532G5266G1519G4228 23'And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;G2532G5342G4618G3448G2380G2532G5315G2165 24'for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.G3754G3778G3450G5207G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147G2532G756G2165 25"Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.G1161G846G4245G5207G2258G1722G68G2532G5613G2064G1448G3614G191G4858G2532G5525 26"So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.G2532G4341G1520G3816G4441G5101G5023G1498 27"And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.'G1161G2036G846G3754G4675G80G2240G2532G4675G3962G2380G4618G3448G3754G618G846G5198 28"But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.G1161G3710G2532G2309G3756G1525G3767G1831G846G3962G1831G3870G846 29"So he answered and said to his father, 'Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.G1161G611G2036G3962G2400G5118G2094G1398G4671G3763G3928G3763G4675G1785G2532G2532G1325G3763G1325G1698G2056G2443G2165G3326G3450G5384 30'But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.'G1161G3753G3778G4675G5207G2064G3588G2719G4675G979G3326G4204G2380G846G4618G3448 31"And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.G1161G2036G846G5043G4771G1488G3842G3326G1700G2532G3956G1699G2076G4674 32'It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.'"G1161G1163G2165G2532G5463G3754G3778G4675G80G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147
