43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. ²And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

³And he spake this parable unto them, saying, ⁴What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. ⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

⁸Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? ⁹And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. ¹⁰Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

¹¹And he said, A certain man had two sons: ¹²And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. ¹³And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. ¹⁴And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. ¹⁵And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. ¹⁶And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. ¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! ¹⁸I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, ¹⁹And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. ²⁰And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. ²²But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: ²³And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: ²⁴For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ²⁵Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. ²⁶And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. ²⁷And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. ²⁸And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. ²⁹And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: ³⁰But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. ³¹And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. ³²It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.(KJV)

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. ²And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

³And he spake this parable unto them, saying, ⁴What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose 1 of them, doth not leave the 99 in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. ⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over 1 sinner that repenteth, more than over 99 just persons, which need no repentance.

⁸Either what woman having 10 pieces of silver, if she lose 1 piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? ⁹And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. ¹⁰Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over 1 sinner that repenteth.

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him. ²And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. ³And he spake unto them this parable, saying, ⁴What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. ⁷I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance. ⁸Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? ⁹And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost. ¹⁰Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. ¹¹And he said, A certain man had two sons: ¹²and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me.

But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. ²²But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: ²³and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: ²⁴for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ²⁵Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be. ²⁷And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. ²⁸But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him. ²⁹But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: ³⁰but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf. ³¹And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. ³²But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.(ASV)

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹THEN the tax collectors and sinners drew near to him to hear him. ²And the scribes and Pharisees murmured, saying, He receives even the sinners and eats with them. ³So Jesus told them this parable: ⁴What man among you has a hundred sheep, and if one of them should get lost, would he not leave the ninety and nine in the open, and go in search of the one which is lost, until he finds it? ⁵And when he finds it he rejoices and takes it on his shoulders. ⁶And he comes to his house, and invites his friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. ⁷I say to you that such will be the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and nine righteous who need no repentance. ⁸Or what woman who has ten coins, and should lose one of them, would not light a lamp and sweep the house and search for it carefully until she finds it? ⁹And when she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my coin which was lost. ¹⁰I say to you that such will be the joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

¹¹¶ And Jesus said to them again, A man had two sons; ¹²And his younger son said to him, My father, give me the portion which is coming to me from your house. And he divided to them his possessions. ¹³And after a few days, his younger son gathered everything that was his share, and went to a far country, and there he wasted his wealth in extravagant living. ¹⁴And when all he had was gone, there was a severe famine in that country; and he began to be in need. ¹⁵So he went and got acquainted with one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him to the field to feed the swine. ¹⁶And he craved to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating; and yet no man would give him. ¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired workers are now in my father's house who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger! ¹⁸I will rise and go to my father and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you; ¹⁹And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers. ²⁰And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son. ²²But his father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet; ²³And bring and kill the fat ox, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴For this my son was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry. ²⁵But his elder son was in the field; and as he came near the house, he heard the voice of the singing of many. ²⁶And he called one of the boys, and asked him what it was all about. ²⁷He said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fat ox because he received him safe and well. ²⁸And he became angry and would not go in; so his father came out and besought him. ²⁹But he said to his father, Behold, how many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your commandment; and yet you never gave me even a kid that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰But for this son of yours, after he had wasted your wealth with harlots and come back, you have killed the fat ox. ³¹His father said to him, My son, you are always with me, and everything which is mine is yours. ³²It was right for us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead and has come to life; and was lost and is found. (LAM)

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. ²And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

³So he told them this parable: ⁴"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? ⁵And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' <sup>7</sup>Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. <sup>8</sup>"Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? <sup>9</sup>And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.' ¹⁰Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

¹¹And he said, "There was a man who had two sons; ¹²and the younger of them said to his father, `Father, give me the share of property that falls to me.' And he divided his living between them. <sup>13</sup>Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took his journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose living. <sup>14</sup>And when he had spent everything, a great famine arose in that country, and he began to be in want. <sup>15</sup>So he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. <sup>16</sup>And he would gladly have fed on the pods that the swine ate; and no one gave him anything. <sup>17</sup>But when he came to himself he said, `How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, but I perish here with hunger! ¹⁸I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; ¹⁹I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired servants."' ²⁰And he arose and came to his father. But while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. ²¹And the son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' <sup>22</sup>But the father said to his servants, `Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; ²³and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; ²⁴for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to make merry.

²⁵"Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶And he called one of the servants and asked what this meant. ²⁷And he said to him, `Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.' <sup>28</sup>But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, <sup>29</sup>but he answered his father, `Lo, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!' ³¹And he said to him, `Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. ³²It was fitting to make merry and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'"(RSV)

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. ²But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

³Then Jesus told them this parable: ⁴"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? ⁵And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders ⁶and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, `Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' ⁷I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

⁸"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? ⁹And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, `Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' ¹⁰In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

¹¹Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. ¹²The younger one said to his father, `Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.

¹³"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. ¹⁴After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. ¹⁵So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. ¹⁶He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

¹⁷"When he came to his senses, he said, `How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! ¹⁸I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. ¹⁹I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' ²⁰So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

²¹"The son said to him, `Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

²²"But the father said to his servants, `Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. ²³Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. ²⁴For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

²⁵"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ²⁷`Your brother has come,' he replied, `and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

²⁸"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. ²⁹But he answered his father, `Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. ³⁰But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

³¹"`My son,' the father said, `you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. ³²But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"(NIV)

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him. ²The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, 'This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.'

³He told them this parable. ⁴'Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? ⁵When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' ⁷I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. ⁸Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it? ⁹When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.' ¹⁰Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.'

¹¹He said, 'A certain man had two sons. ¹²The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them. ¹³Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living. ¹⁴When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need. ¹⁵He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs. ¹⁶He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any. ¹⁷But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying with hunger! ¹⁸I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. ¹⁹I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.''

²⁰'He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

²²'But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. ²³Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate; ²⁴for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' They began to celebrate.

²⁵'Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on. ²⁷He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.' ²⁸But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him. ²⁹But he answered his father, 'Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. ³⁰But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

³¹'He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. ³²But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.''(WEB)

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him. ²The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, 'This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.'

³He told them this parable. ⁴'Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? ⁵When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' ⁷I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. ⁸Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it? ⁹When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.' ¹⁰Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.'

43 Luke 15:1-32 ¹THEN the tax collectors and sinners drew near to him to hear him. ²And the scribes and Pharisees murmured, saying, He receives even the sinners and eats with them. ³So Jesus told them this parable: ⁴What man among you has 100 sheep, and if one of them should get lost, would he not leave the 99 in the open, and go in search of the one which is lost, until he finds it? ⁵And when he finds it he rejoices and takes it on his shoulders. ⁶And he comes to his house, and invites his friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. ⁷I say to you that such will be the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over 99 righteous who need no repentance. ⁸Or what woman who has 10 coins, and should lose one of them, would not light a lamp and sweep the house and search for it carefully until she finds it? ⁹And when she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors, and says to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my coin which was lost. ¹⁰I say to you that such will be the joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. ¹¹And Jesus said to them again, A man had 2 sons; ¹²And his younger son said to him, My father, give me the portion which is coming to me from your house. And he divided to them his possessions. ¹³And after a few days, his younger son gathered everything that was his share, and went to a far country, and there he wasted his wealth in extravagant living. ¹⁴And when all he had was gone, there was a severe famine in that country; and he began to be in need. ¹⁵So he went and got acquainted with one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him to the field to feed the swine. ¹⁶And he craved to fill his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating; yet no man would give him. ¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired workers are now in my father's house who have plenty of bread, and I am here perishing with hunger. ¹⁸I will rise and go to my father and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you; ¹⁹And I am no longer worthy to be called your son; just make me like one of your hired workers. ²⁰And he rose up and came to his father. And while he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion on him, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven and before you, and I am not worthy to be called your son. ²²But his father said to his servants, Bring the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet; ²³And bring and kill the fat ox, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴For this my son was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry. ²⁵But his elder son was in the field; and as he came near the house, he heard the voice of the singing of many. ²⁶And he called one of the boys, and asked him what it was all about. ²⁷He said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fat ox because he received him safe and well. ²⁸And he became angry and would not go in; so his father came out and begged him. ²⁹But he said to his father, Look, how many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your commandment; yet you never gave me even a kid that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰But for this son of yours, after he had wasted your wealth with prostitutes and come back, you have killed the fat ox. ³¹His father said to him, My son, you are always with me, and everything which is mine is yours. ³²It was right for us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead and has come to life; and was lost and is found.
