15Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.G1161G2258G1448G846G3956G5057G2532G268G191G8462And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them."G2532G5330G2532G1122G1234G3004G3754G3778G4327G268G2532G4906G8463So he told them this parable:G1161G2036G5026G3850G4314G846G30044"Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?G5101G444G1537G5216G2192G1540G4263G2532G622G1520G1537G846G2641G3756G2641G1768G1722G2048G2532G4198G1909G622G2193G2147G8465When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices.G2532G2147G2007G1909G1438G5606G54636And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'G2532G2064G1519G3624G4779G5384G2532G1069G3004G846G4796G3427G3754G2147G3450G4263G3588G6227Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.G3004G5213G3754G3779G5479G2071G1722G3772G1909G1520G268G3340G2228G1909G1768G1342G3748G2192G5532G3756G33418"Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?G2228G5101G1135G2192G1176G1406G1437G622G3391G1406G3780G681G3088G2532G4563G3614G2532G2212G1960G2193G3755G21479When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'G2532G2147G4779G5384G2532G1069G4779G3004G4796G3427G3754G2147G1406G3739G62210Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."G3779G3004G5213G1096G5479G1799G32G2316G1909G1520G268G334011Then Jesus said, "There was a man who had two sons.G1161G2036G5100G444G2192G1417G520712The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them.G2532G3501G846G2036G3962G3962G1325G3427G3313G3776G1911G2532G1244G846G97913A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.G2532G3756G4183G2250G3326G3501G5207G4863G537G4863G589G1519G3117G5561G2532G1563G1287G846G3776G811G219814When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need.G1161G846G1159G3956G1096G2478G3042G2596G1565G5561G2532G846G756G530215So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs.G2532G4198G2853G1520G4177G1565G5561G2532G3992G846G1519G846G68G1006G551916He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything.G2532G1937G1072G846G2836G575G2769G3739G5519G2068G2532G3762G1325G84617But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger!G1161G2064G1519G1438G2036G4214G3407G3450G3962G740G4052G1161G1473G622G304218I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;G450G4198G4314G3450G3962G2532G2046G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G467519I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."'G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G5207G4160G3165G5613G1520G4675G340720So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.G2532G450G2064G4314G1438G3962G1161G846G2089G3112G568G846G3962G1492G846G2532G4697G2532G5143G1968G1909G846G5137G2532G2705G84621Then the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'G1161G5207G2036G846G3962G264G1519G3772G2532G1799G4675G1799G2532G1510G3765G514G2564G4675G520722But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.G1161G3962G2036G4314G846G1401G1627G4413G4749G2532G1746G846G2532G1325G1146G1519G846G5495G2532G5266G1519G422823And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;G2532G5342G4618G3448G2380G2532G5315G216524for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate.G3754G3778G3450G5207G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147G2532G756G216525"Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.G1161G846G4245G5207G2258G1722G68G2532G5613G2064G1448G3614G191G4858G2532G552526He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on.G2532G4341G1520G3816G4441G5101G5023G149827He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.'G1161G2036G846G3754G4675G80G2240G2532G4675G3962G2380G4618G3448G3754G618G846G519828Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him.G1161G3710G2532G2309G3756G1525G3767G1831G846G3962G1831G3870G84629But he answered his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends.G1161G611G2036G3962G2400G5118G2094G1398G4671G3763G3928G3763G4675G1785G2532G2532G1325G3763G1325G1698G2056G2443G2165G3326G3450G538430But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!'G1161G3753G3778G4675G5207G2064G3588G2719G4675G979G3326G4204G2380G846G4618G344831Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.G1161G2036G846G5043G4771G1488G3842G3326G1700G2532G3956G1699G2076G467432But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'"G1161G1163G2165G2532G5463G3754G3778G4675G80G2258G3498G2532G326G2532G2258G622G2532G2147
