Luke 15:1-9

1NowG1161 allG3956 the 1taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 2sinnersG268 were comingG1448 nearG1448 3Jesus to listenG191 to Him. 2And bothG5037 the PhariseesG5330 and the scribesG1122 began to complainG1234, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 ManG3778 receivesG4327 sinnersG268 and 4eatsG4906 with them.”

3And so He toldG3004 them thisG3778 parableG3850, sayingG3004, 4“5WhatG5101 manG444 amongG1537 you, if he hasG2192 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263 and has lostG622 oneG1520 of them, does not leaveG2641 the other ninety-nineG1752G1767 in the 6openG2048 pastureG2048 and goG4198 afterG1909 the one that is lostG622, untilG2193 he findsG2147 it? 5And when he has foundG2147 it, he putsG2007 it on his shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463. 6And when he comesG2064 homeG3624, he callsG4779 togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 and his neighborsG1069, sayingG3004 to them, ‘RejoiceG4796 withG4796 me, becauseG3754 I have foundG2147 my sheepG4263 that 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 peopleG1342 whoG3748 haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of repentanceG3341.

8“OrG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135, ifG1437 she hasG2192 tenG1176 7silverG1406 coinsG1406 and losesG622 oneG1520 coinG1406, does not lightG681 a lampG3088 and sweepG4563 the houseG3614 and searchG2212 carefullyG1960 untilG2193 she findsG2147 it? 9And when she has foundG2147 it, she callsG4779 togetherG4779 her friendsG5384 and neighborsG1069, sayingG3004, ‘RejoiceG4796 withG4796 me, becauseG3754 I have foundG2147 the coinG1406 whichG3739 I had lostG622!’
