Luke 15:1-20

1ThenG1161 drew nearG1448 unto himG846 allG3956 the publicansG3588G5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 for to hearG191 himG846. 2AndG2532 the PhariseesG3588G5330 andG2532 scribesG3588G1122 murmuredG1234, sayingG3004, This manG3778 receivethG4327 sinnersG268, andG2532 eatethG4906 with themG846.

3AndG1161 he spakeG3004 thisG3778 parableG3588G3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, 4WhatG5101 manG444 ofG1537 youG4771, havingG2192 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, ifG2532 he loseG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, dothG2641 notG3756 leaveG2641 the ninety and nineG1768 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 goG4198 afterG1909 that whichG3588 is lostG622, untilG2193 he findG2147 itG846? 5AndG2532 when he hath foundG2147 it, he layethG2007 it onG1909 hisG1438 shouldersG3588G5606, rejoicingG5463. 6AndG2532 when he comethG2064 homeG3588G3624, he calleth togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 andG2532 neighboursG3588G1069, sayingG3004 unto themG846, Rejoice withG4796 meG1473; forG3754 I have foundG2147 myG1473 sheepG3588G4263 whichG3588 was lostG622. 7I sayG3004 unto youG4771, thatG3754 likewiseG3779 joyG5479 shall beG1510 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340, more thanG2228 overG1909 ninety and nineG1768 just personsG1342, whichG3748 needG5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341.

8EitherG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135 havingG2192 tenG1176 pieces of silverG1406, ifG1437 she loseG622 oneG1520 pieceG1406, dothG681 notG3780 lightG681 a candleG3088, andG2532 sweepG4563 the houseG3588G3614, andG2532 seekG2212 diligentlyG1960 tillG2193 she findG2147 it? 9AndG2532 when she hath foundG2147 it, she callethG4779 her friendsG3588G5384 andG2532 her neighboursG3588G1069 togetherG4779, sayingG3004, Rejoice withG4796 meG1473; forG3754 I have foundG2147 the pieceG3588G1406 whichG3739 I had lostG622. 10LikewiseG3779, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, there isG1096 joyG5479 in the presence ofG1799 the angelsG3588G32 of GodG3588G2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340.

11AndG1161 he saidG3004, A certainG5100 manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207: 12AndG2532 the youngerG3501 of themG846 saidG3004 toG3588G3962 his fatherG3588G3962, FatherG3962, giveG1325 meG1473 the portionG3313 of goodsG3588G3776 that fallethG1911 to me. AndG2532 he dividedG1244 unto themG846 his livingG3588G979. 13AndG2532 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 afterG3326 the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 allG537 togetherG4863, and took his journeyG589 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561, andG2532 thereG1563 wastedG1287 hisG846 substanceG3588G3776 with riotousG811 livingG2198. 14AndG1161 when heG846 had spentG1159 allG3956, there aroseG1096 a mightyG2478 famineG3042 inG2596 thatG1565 landG3588G5561; andG2532 heG846 beganG756 to be in wantG5302. 15AndG2532 he wentG4198 and joined himselfG2853 toG1520 a citizenG3588G4177 of thatG1565 countryG3588G5561; andG2532 he sentG3992 himG846 intoG1519 hisG846 fieldsG3588G68 to feedG1006 swineG5519. 16AndG2532 he would fainG1937 have filledG1072 hisG846 bellyG3588G2836 withG575 the husksG3588G2769 thatG3739 the swineG3588G5519 did eatG2068: andG2532 no manG3762 gaveG1325 unto himG846. 17AndG1161 when he cameG2064 toG1519 himselfG1438, he saidG3004, How manyG4214 hired servantsG3407 of myG1473 father’sG3588G3962 have breadG740 enough and to spareG4052, andG1161 IG1473 perishG622 with hungerG3042! 18I will ariseG450 and goG4198 toG4314 myG1473 fatherG3588G3962, andG2532 will sayG2046 unto himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3588G3772, andG2532 beforeG1799 theeG4771, 19AndG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4771 sonG5207: makeG4160 meG1473 asG5613 oneG1520 of thyG4771 hired servantsG3407. 20AndG2532 he aroseG450, and cameG2064 toG4314 hisG1438 fatherG3588G3962. ButG1161 when heG846 wasG568 yetG2089 a great way offG3112, hisG846 fatherG3588G3962 sawG3708 himG846, andG2532 had compassionG4697, andG2532 ranG5143, and fellG1968 onG1909 hisG846 neckG3588G5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
