15Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.G1161G2258G1448G846G3956G5057G2532G268G191G8462And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.G2532G5330G2532G1122G1234G3004G3754G3778G4327G268G2532G4906G8463And he spake this parable unto them, saying,G1161G2036G5026G3850G4314G846G30044What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?G5101G444G1537G5216G2192G1540G4263G2532G622G1520G1537G846G2641G3756G2641G1768G1722G2048G2532G4198G1909G622G2193G2147G8465And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.G2532G2147G2007G1909G1438G5606G54636And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.G2532G2064G1519G3624G4779G5384G2532G1069G3004G846G4796G3427G3754G2147G3450G4263G3588G6227I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.G3004G5213G3754G3779G5479G2071G1722G3772G1909G1520G268G3340G2228G1909G1768G1342G3748G2192G5532G3756G33418Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? / pieces…: drachma, here translated a piece of silver, is the eighth part of an ounce, which cometh to seven pence halfpenny, and is equal to the Roman pennyG2228G5101G1135G2192G1176G1406G1437G622G3391G1406G3780G681G3088G2532G4563G3614G2532G2212G1960G2193G3755G21479And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.G2532G2147G4779G5384G2532G1069G4779G3004G4796G3427G3754G2147G1406G3739G62210Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.G3779G3004G5213G1096G5479G1799G32G2316G1909G1520G268G334011And he said, A certain man had two sons:G1161G2036G5100G444G2192G1417G520712And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.G2532G3501G846G2036G3962G3962G1325G3427G3313G3776G1911G2532G1244G846G97913And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.G2532G3756G4183G2250G3326G3501G5207G4863G537G4863G589G1519G3117G5561G2532G1563G1287G846G3776G811G219814And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.G1161G846G1159G3956G1096G2478G3042G2596G1565G5561G2532G846G756G530215And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.G2532G4198G2853G1520G4177G1565G5561G2532G3992G846G1519G846G68G1006G551916And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.G2532G1937G1072G846G2836G575G2769G3739G5519G2068G2532G3762G1325G84617And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!G1161G2064G1519G1438G2036G4214G3407G3450G3962G740G4052G1161G1473G622G304218I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,G450G4198G4314G3450G3962G2532G2046G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G467519And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207G4160G3165G5613G1520G4675G340720And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.G2532G450G2064G4314G1438G3962G1161G846G2089G3112G568G846G3962G1492G846G2532G4697G2532G5143G1968G1909G846G5137G2532G2705G84621And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.G1161G5207G2036G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675G1799G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G520722But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:G1161G3962G2036G4314G846G1401G1627G4413G4749G2532G1746G846G2532G1325G1146G1519G846G5495G2532G5266G1519G422823And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:G2532G5342G4618G3448G2380G2532G5315G216524For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.G3754G3778G3450G5207G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147G2532G756G216525Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.G1161G846G4245G5207G2258G1722G68G2532G5613G2064G1448G3614G191G4858G2532G552526And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.G2532G4341G1520G3816G4441G5101G5023G149827And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.G1161G2036G846G3754G4675G80G2240G2532G4675G3962G2380G4618G3448G3754G618G846G519828And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.G1161G3710G2532G2309G3756G1525G3767G1831G846G3962G1831G3870G84629And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:G1161G611G2036G3962G2400G5118G2094G1398G4671G3763G3928G3763G4675G1785G2532G2532G1325G3763G1325G1698G2056G2443G2165G3326G3450G538430But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.G1161G3753G3778G4675G5207G2064G3588G2719G4675G979G3326G4204G2380G846G4618G344831And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.G1161G2036G846G5043G4771G1488G3842G3326G1700G2532G3956G1699G2076G467432It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.G1161G1163G2165G2532G5463G3754G3778G4675G80G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147
