1ThenG1161 drew nearG2258G1448 to himG846 allG3956 the tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268 to hearG191 himG846. 2AndG2532 the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 scribesG1122 murmuredG1234, sayingG3004, This manG3754G3778 receivethG4327 sinnersG268, andG2532 eatethG4906 with themG846. 3AndG1161 he spokeG2036 thisG5026 parableG3850 toG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, 4WhatG5101 manG444 ofG1537 youG5216, havingG2192 an hundredG1540 sheepG4263, ifG2532 he losethG622 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846, dothG2641 notG3756 leaveG2641 the ninety and nineG1768 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 goG4198 afterG1909 that which is lostG622, untilG2193 he findethG2147 itG846? 5AndG2532 when he hath foundG2147 it, he layethG2007 it onG1909 hisG1438 shouldersG5606, rejoicingG5463. 6AndG2532 when he comethG2064G1519 homeG3624, he calleth togetherG4779 his friendsG5384 andG2532 neighboursG1069, sayingG3004 to themG846, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 myG3450 sheepG4263 whichG3588 was lostG622. 7I sayG3004 to youG5213, thatG3754 likewiseG3779 joyG5479 shall beG2071 inG1722 heavenG3772 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340, more thanG2228 overG1909 ninety and nineG1768 righteous personsG1342, whoG3748 needG2192G5532 noG3756 repentanceG3341. 8EitherG2228 whatG5101 womanG1135 havingG2192 tenG1176 pieces of silverG1406, ifG1437 she losethG622 oneG3391 pieceG1406, doth notG3780 lightG681 a lampG3088, andG2532 sweepG4563 the houseG3614, andG2532 seekG2212 diligentlyG1960 tillG2193G3755 she findethG2147 it ?1 9AndG2532 when she hath foundG2147 it, she callethG4779 her friendsG5384 andG2532 her neighboursG1069 togetherG4779, sayingG3004, RejoiceG4796 with meG3427; forG3754 I have foundG2147 the pieceG1406 whichG3739 I had lostG622. 10LikewiseG3779, I sayG3004 to youG5213, there isG1096 joyG5479 in the presenceG1799 of the angelsG32 of GodG2316 overG1909 oneG1520 sinnerG268 that repentethG3340.
11AndG1161 he saidG2036, A certainG5100 manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207: 12AndG2532 the youngerG3501 of themG846 saidG2036 to his fatherG3962, FatherG3962, giveG1325 meG3427 the portionG3313 of goodsG3776 that fallethG1911 to me . AndG2532 he dividedG1244 to themG846 his livingG979. 13AndG2532 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 afterG3326 the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 allG537 togetherG4863, and took his journeyG589 intoG1519 a farG3117 countryG5561, andG2532 thereG1563 wastedG1287 hisG846 substanceG3776 with riotousG811 livingG2198. 14AndG1161 when heG846 had spentG1159 allG3956, there aroseG1096 a mightyG2478 famineG3042 inG2596 thatG1565 landG5561; andG2532 heG846 beganG756 to be in wantG5302. 15AndG2532 he wentG4198 and joined himselfG2853 toG1520 a citizenG4177 of thatG1565 countryG5561; andG2532 he sentG3992 himG846 intoG1519 hisG846 fieldsG68 to feedG1006 swineG5519. 16AndG2532 he was longingG1937 to fillG1072 hisG846 bellyG2836 withG575 the husksG2769 thatG3739 the swineG5519 ateG2068: andG2532 no manG3762 gaveG1325 to himG846. 17AndG1161 when he cameG2064 toG1519 himselfG1438, he saidG2036, How manyG4214 hired servantsG3407 of myG3450 fatherG3962 have breadG740 enough and to spareG4052, andG1161 IG1473 am perishingG622 with hungerG3042! 18I will ariseG450 and goG4198 toG4314 myG3450 fatherG3962, andG2532 will sayG2046 to himG846, FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, andG2532 beforeG1799 theeG4675, 19AndG2532 amG1510 no moreG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 thyG4675 sonG5207: makeG4160 meG3165 asG5613 oneG1520 of thyG4675 hired servantsG3407. 20AndG2532 he aroseG450, and cameG2064 toG4314 hisG1438 fatherG3962. ButG1161 when heG846 was yetG2089 a great wayG3112 offG568, hisG846 fatherG3962 sawG1492 himG846, andG2532 had compassionG4697, andG2532 ranG5143, and fellG1968 onG1909 hisG846 neckG5137, andG2532 kissedG2705 himG846.
