Luke 15:1-20

1NowG1161 allG3956 theG3956 publicans andG2532 sinnersG268 wereG1510 drawingG1448 nearG1448 unto himG846 forG3956 toG2532 hearG191 himG846.

2AndG2532 bothG5037 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 theG3588 scribesG1122 murmured, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 manG3778 receiveth sinnersG268, andG2532 eateth withG2532 themG846.

3AndG1161 heG846 spake unto themG846 thisG3778 parableG3850, sayingG3004,

4WhatG5101 manG444 ofG1537 youG5210, havingG2192 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, andG2532 havingG2192 lostG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, doth notG3756 leaveG2641 theG3588 ninety andG2532 nineG1767 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048, andG2532 goG4198 afterG2532 thatG846 whichG5101 is lostG622, untilG2193 heG2532 findG2147 itG846?

5AndG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 hath foundG2147 itG846, heG2532 layeth itG846 onG1909 hisG846 shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463.

6AndG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 cometh homeG3624, heG2532 calleth togetherG4779 hisG846 friendsG5384 andG2532 hisG846 neighbours, sayingG3004 unto themG846, RejoiceG4796 withG2532 meG3004, forG1519 IG1473 have foundG2147 myG3754 sheepG4263 whichG3748 was lostG622.

7IG3754 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 even soG3779 thereG1510 shallG1342 beG1510 joyG5479 inG1722 heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 thatG3754 repenteth, moreG3756 thanG2228 overG1909 ninety andG3772 nineG1767 righteousG1342 personsG1342, whichG3748 needG5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341.

8OrG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135 havingG2192 tenG1176 pieces ofG1520 silverG1406, ifG1437 sheG1437 loseG622 oneG1520 piece, doth notG3780 lightG681 a lampG3088, andG2532 sweepG4563 theG3588 houseG3614, andG2532 seekG2212 diligently untilG2193 sheG1437 findG2147 itG1437?

9AndG2532 whenG2532 sheG3739 hath foundG2147 itG2147, sheG3739 calleth togetherG4779 herG3754 friendsG5384 andG2532 neighbours, sayingG3004, RejoiceG4796 withG2532 meG3004, forG3754 IG1473 have foundG2147 theG3588 piece whichG3739 IG1473 had lostG622.

10Even soG3779, IG3004 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thereG1096 is joyG5479 inG1909 theG3588 presenceG1799 ofG2316 theG3588 angelsG32 ofG2316 GodG2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 thatG3004 repenteth.

11AndG1161 heG3004 saidG3004, A certainG5100 manG444 had twoG1417 sonsG5207:

12andG2532 theG3588 youngerG3501 ofG3962 themG846 saidG3004 toG3004 hisG846 fatherG3962, FatherG3962, giveG1325 meG1325 theG3588 portionG3313 ofG3962 thy substance thatG3004 falleth toG3004 meG1325. AndG2532 heG2532 dividedG1244 unto themG846 hisG846 living.

13AndG2532 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 afterG3326 theG3956 youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 allG3956 togetherG4863, andG2532 took hisG846 journeyG589 intoG1519 a farG3588 countryG5561; andG2532 thereG1563 heG2532 wasted hisG846 substance withG3326 riotous livingG2198.

14AndG2532 whenG2532 heG2532 had spentG1159 allG3956, thereG1161 aroseG1096 a mightyG2478 famineG3042 inG2596 thatG1565 countryG5561; andG2532 heG2532 beganG757 toG757 beG1096 inG2596 want.

15AndG2532 heG2532 wentG4198 andG2532 joinedG2853 himselfG846 toG1519 oneG1520 ofG1520 theG3588 citizensG4177 ofG1520 thatG1565 countryG5561; andG2532 heG2532 sentG3992 himG846 intoG1519 hisG846 fieldsG68 toG1519 feedG1006 swineG5519.

16AndG2532 heG2532 wouldG3762 fain have beenG2532 filledG1072 withG575 theG3588 husks thatG3739 theG3588 swineG5519 didG1325 eatG2068: andG2532 noG3762 manG3762 gaveG1325 unto himG846.

17ButG1161 whenG1161 heG1161 cameG2064 toG1519 himselfG1438 heG1161 saidG5346, HowG4214 manyG4214 hiredG3407 servants ofG3962 my father’sG3962 have breadG740 enoughG4052 andG1161 toG1519 spare, andG1161 IG1473 perishG622 hereG5602 withG1519 hungerG3042!

18IG1473 willG2532 ariseG450 andG2532 goG4198 toG1519 myG3004 fatherG3962, andG2532 willG2532 sayG3004 unto himG846, FatherG3962, IG1473 have sinnedG264 againstG4314 heavenG3772, andG2532 inG1519 thy sightG1799:

19IG1473 amG1510 noG3765 moreG3765 worthyG514 toG4160 beG1510 calledG2564 thy sonG5207: makeG4160 meG1473 asG5613 oneG1520 ofG5207 thy hiredG3407 servants.

20AndG2532 heG2532 aroseG450, andG2532 cameG2064 toG4314 hisG846 fatherG3962. ButG1161 whileG846 heG2532 was yetG2532 afar offG3112, hisG846 fatherG3962 sawG3708 himG846, andG2532 was movedG4697 withG4314 compassionG4697, andG2532 ranG5143, andG2532 fellG1968 onG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
