Now
all
the tax collectors
and the sinners
were coming near
Him to listen
to Him.
2
Both
the Pharisees
and the scribes
began to grumble,
saying,
"This man
receives
sinners
and eats
with them."
3
So
He told
them this
parable,
saying,
4
"What
man
among
you, if he has
a hundred
sheep
and has lost
one
of them, does not leave
the ninety-nine
in the open pasture
and go
after
the
one
which is lost
until
he finds
it?
5
"When he has found
it, he lays
it on his shoulders,
rejoicing.
6
"And when he comes
home,
he calls together
his friends
and his neighbors,
saying
to them, 'Rejoice
with me, for I have found
my sheep
which was lost!'
7
"I tell
you that in the same way,
there will be more joy
in heaven
over
one
sinner
who
repents
than
over
ninety-nine
righteous persons
who
need
no
repentance.
8
"Or
what
woman,
if
she has
ten
silver
coins
and loses
one
coin,
does not light
a lamp
and sweep
the house
and search
carefully
until
she finds
it?
9
"When she has found
it, she calls together
her friends
and neighbors,
saying,
'Rejoice
with me, for I have found
the coin
which
I had lost!'
10
"In the same way,
I tell
you, there is joy
in the presence
of the angels
of God
over
one
sinner
who repents."
11
And He said,
"A man
had
two
sons.
12
"The younger
of them said
to his father,
'Father,
give
me the share
of the estate
that falls
to me.' So
he divided
his wealth
between
them.
13
"And not many
days
later,
the younger
son
gathered
everything
together
and went on a journey
into a distant
country,
and there
he squandered
his estate
with loose
living.
14
"Now
when he had spent
everything,
a severe
famine
occurred
in that country,
and he began
to be impoverished.
15
"So
he went
and hired
himself out to one
of the citizens
of that country,
and he sent
him into his fields
to feed
swine.
16
"And he would have gladly
filled
his stomach
with the pods
that the swine
were eating,
and no one
was giving
anything to him.
17
"But when he came
to his senses,
he said,
'How many
of my father's
hired men
have more than enough
bread,
but I am dying
here
with hunger!
18
'
I will get
up and go
to my father,
and will say
to him, "Father,
I have sinned
against
heaven,
and in your sight;
19
I am
no longer
worthy
to be called
your son;
make
me as one
of your hired men."'
20
"So
he got
up and came
to
his father
.
But while he was still
a long way
off,
his father
saw
him and felt compassion
for him, and ran
and embraced
him and kissed
him.
21
"And the son
said
to him, 'Father,
I have sinned
against
heaven
and in your sight;
I am
no longer
worthy
to be called
your son.'
22
"But the father
said
to his slaves,
'Quickly
bring
out the best
robe
and put
it on him,
and put
a ring
on his hand
and sandals
on his feet;
23
and bring
the fattened
calf,
kill
it, and let us eat
and celebrate;
24
for this
son
of mine
was dead
and has come to life again;
he was lost
and has been found.'
And they began
to celebrate.
25
"Now
his older
son
was in the field,
and when
he came
and approached
the house,
he heard
music
and dancing.
26
"And he summoned
one
of the servants
and began inquiring
what
these things
could be.
27
"And he said
to him, 'Your brother
has come,
and your father
has killed
the fattened
calf
because
he has received him back
safe and sound.'
28
"But he be
came
angry
and was not willing
to go
in; and his father
came
out and began pleading
with him.
29
"But he answered
and said
to his father,
'Look!
For
so
many
years
I have been serving
you and I have never
neglected
a command
of yours;
and yet you have never
given
me a young goat,
so
that I might celebrate
with my friends;
30
but when
this
son
of yours
came,
who has devoured
your wealth
with prostitutes,
you killed
the fattened
calf
for him.'
31
"And he said
to him, 'Son,
you have always
been
with me, and all
that is mine
is yours.
32
But we had
to celebrate
and rejoice,
for this
brother
of yours
was dead
and has begun to live,
and was lost
and has been found.'"
