Luke 15:1-10

1And all the tax-gatherers and the sinnersG268 wereG1510 coming near to him to hearG191 him;

2and the PhariseesG5330 and the scribesG1122 murmured, sayingG3004, This [manG3778] receivesG4327 sinnersG268 and eats with them.

3And he spokeG3004 to them this parableG3850, sayingG3004,

4What manG444 of you having a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and having lostG622 oneG1520 of them, does not leaveG2641 the ninety and nineG1767 in the wildernessG2048 and goG4198 after that which is lostG622, until he findG2147 it?

5and having foundG2147 it, he laysG2007 it upon his own shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463;

6and being comeG2064 to the houseG3624, calls togetherG4779 the friendsG5384 and the neighbours, sayingG3004 to them, RejoiceG4796 with me, for I have foundG2147 my lostG622 sheepG4263.

7I sayG3004 unto you, that thusG3779 there shall beG1510 joyG5479 in heavenG3772 for oneG1520 repenting sinnerG268, [more] than for ninety and nineG1767 righteousG1342 who have no needG5532 of repentanceG3341.

8Or, what womanG1135 having tenG1176 drachmas, if she loseG622 oneG1520 drachma, does not light a lampG3088 and sweep the houseG3614 and seekG2212 carefully till she findG2147 it?

9and having foundG2147 it she calls togetherG4779 the friendsG5384 and neighbours, sayingG3004, RejoiceG4796 with me, for I have foundG2147 the drachma which I had lostG622.

10ThusG3779, I sayG3004 unto you, there is joyG5479 before the angelsG32 of 1GodG2316 for oneG1520 repenting sinnerG268.
