Luke 15:1-20

1NowG1161 allG3956 the 1taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and the 2sinnersG268 were comingG1448 nearG1448 Him to listenG191 to Him. 2BothG5037 the PhariseesG5330 and the scribesG1122 began to grumbleG1234, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 manG3778 receivesG4327 sinnersG268 and 3eatsG4906 with them.”

3SoG1161 He toldG3004 them thisG3778 parableG3850, sayingG3004, 4“4WhatG5101 manG444 amongG1537 you, if he hasG2192 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263 and has lostG622 oneG1520 of them, does not leaveG2641 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 in the 5openG2048 pastureG2048 and goG4198 afterG1909 the one which is lostG622 untilG2193 he findsG2147 it? 5When he has foundG2147 it, he laysG2007 it on his shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463. 6And when he comesG2064 homeG3624, he callsG4779 togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 and his neighborsG1069, sayingG3004 to them, ‘RejoiceG4796 with me, for I have foundG2147 my sheepG4263 which was lostG622!’ 7I tellG3004 you that in the sameG3779 wayG3779, there will be more joyG5479 in heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 who repentsG3340 thanG2228 overG1909 ninety-nineG1752G1767 righteousG1342 personsG1342 whoG3748 needG5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341.

8“OrG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135, ifG1437 she hasG2192 tenG1176 6silverG1406 coinsG1406 and losesG622 oneG1520 coinG1406, does not lightG681 a lampG3088 and sweepG4563 the houseG3614 and searchG2212 carefullyG1960 untilG2193 she findsG2147 it? 9When she has foundG2147 it, she callsG4779 togetherG4779 her friendsG5384 and neighborsG1069, sayingG3004, ‘RejoiceG4796 with me, for I have foundG2147 the coinG1406 whichG3739 I had lostG622!’ 10In the sameG3779 wayG3779, I tellG3004 you, there is joyG5479 7in the presenceG1799 of the angelsG32 of GodG2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 who repentsG3340.”

11And He saidG3004, “A manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207. 12The youngerG3501 of them saidG3004 to his fatherG3962, ‘FatherG3962, giveG1325 me 8the shareG3313 of the estateG3776 that fallsG1911 to me.’ SoG1161 he dividedG1244 his 910wealthG979 betweenG1244 them. 13And not manyG4183 daysG2250 laterG3326, the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 everythingG3956 togetherG4863 and wentG589 on a journeyG589 into a distantG3117 countryG5561, and thereG1563 he squanderedG1287 his estateG3776 with looseG811 livingG2198. 14NowG1161 when he had spentG1159 everythingG3956, a severeG2478 famineG3042 occurredG1096 in that countryG5561, and he beganG757 to be impoverishedG5302. 15SoG2532 he wentG4198 and 11hiredG2853 himself out to oneG1520 of the citizensG4177 of that countryG5561, and he sentG3992 him into his fieldsG68 to feedG1006 swineG5519. 16And he would have gladlyG1937 filledG1072 his stomachG2836 with the 12podsG2769 that the swineG5519 were eatingG2068, and noG3762 oneG3762 was givingG1325 anything to him. 17But when he cameG2064 to 13his sensesG1438, he saidG5346, ‘HowG4214 manyG4214 of my father’sG3962 hiredG3407 menG3407 haveG4052 moreG4052 thanG4052 enoughG4052 breadG740, but I am dyingG622 hereG5602 with hungerG3042! 18I will getG450 up and goG4198 to my fatherG3962, and will sayG3004 to him, “FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, and 14in your sightG1799; 19I amG1510 noG3765 longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 your sonG5207; makeG4160 me as oneG1520 of your hiredG3407 menG3407.”’ 20SoG2532 he gotG450 up and cameG2064 to 15his fatherG3962. But while he was stillG2089 a longG3112 wayG3112 offG568, his fatherG3962 sawG3708 him and feltG4697 compassionG4697 for him, and ranG5143 and 1617embracedG1968G1909G5137 him and kissedG2705 him.
