Luke 15:1-9

1NowG1161 allG3956 theG3588 tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 wereG1510 gathering aroundG1448 to listen toG191 Jesus. 2SoG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 scribesG1122 began to grumbleG1234: “ThisG3778 man welcomesG4327 sinnersG268 andG2532 eats withG4906 themG846.”

3ThenG1161 Jesus toldG2036G4314 themG846 thisG3778 parableG3850: 4“WhatG5101 manG444 amongG1537 youG4771, if he hasG2192 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263 andG2532 losesG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, does notG3756 leaveG2641 theG3588 ninety-nineG1768G1767 inG1722 theG3588 pastureG2048 andG2532 goG4198 afterG1909 theG3588 one that is lostG622, untilG2193 he findsG2147 itG846? 5AndG2532 when he findsG2147 it, he joyfully putsG2007G5463 it onG1909 hisG846 shouldersG5606, 6comesG2064 homeG1519G3588G3624, and calls togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 andG2532 neighborsG1069 to tellG3004 themG846, ‘Rejoice withG4796 meG1473, forG3754 I have foundG2147 myG1473 lostG622 sheepG4263!’ 7I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 in the same wayG3779 there will beG1510 more joyG5479 inG1722 heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 who repentsG3340 thanG2228 overG1909 ninety-nineG1768G1767 righteous onesG1342 whoG3748 doG2192 notG3756 needG5532 to repentG3341.

8OrG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135 who hasG2192 tenG1176 silver coinsG14061 and losesG622 oneG1520 of them does notG3780 lightG681 a lampG3088, sweepG4563 her houseG3614, andG2532 searchG2212 carefullyG1960 untilG2193 she findsG2147 itG3739? 9AndG2532 when she findsG2147 it, she calls togetherG4779 her friendsG5384 andG2532 neighborsG1069 to sayG3004, ‘Rejoice withG4796 meG1473, forG3754 I have foundG2147 my lostG622 coinG1406.’
