Luke Chapter 15
15:1 | Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. |
15:2 | And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. |
15:3 | And he spake this parable unto them, saying, |
15:4 | What man of you, having an hundred ![]() |
15:5 | And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing. |
15:6 | And when he cometh ![]() ![]() |
15:7 | I 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. |
15:8 | Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the ![]() |
15:9 | And 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. |
15:10 | Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. |
15:11 | And he said, A certain man had two sons: |

15:16 | And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. |
15:17 | And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father' have ![]() |

15:30 | But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted ![]() |
