1 Then * g1161 drew near * g2258 g5713 * g1448 g5723 unto him * g846 all * g3956 the publicans * g5057 and * g2532 sinners * g268 for to hear * g191 g5721 him * g846.
2 And * g2532 the Pharisees * g5330 and * g2532 scribes * g1122 murmured * g1234 g5707, saying * g3004 g5723, This man * g3754 * g3778 receiveth * g4327 g5736 sinners * g268, and * g2532 eateth * g4906 g5719 with them * g846.
3 And * g1161 he spake * g2036 g5627 this * g5026 parable * g3850 unto * g4314 them * g846, saying * g3004 g5723,
4 What * g5101 man * g444 of * g1537 you * g5216, having * g2192 g5723 an hundred * g1540 sheep * g4263, if * g2532 he lose * g622 g5660 one * g1520 of * g1537 them * g846, doth * g2641 not * g3756 leave * g2641 g5719 the ninety and nine * g1768 in * g1722 the wilderness * g2048, and * g2532 go * g4198 g5736 after * g1909 that which is lost * g622 g5756, until * g2193 he find * g2147 g5632 it * g846?
5 And * g2532 when he hath found * g2147 g5631 it , he layeth * g2007 g5719 it on * g1909 his * g1438 shoulders * g5606, rejoicing * g5463 g5723.
6 And * g2532 when he cometh * g2064 g5631 * g1519 home * g3624, he calleth together * g4779 g5719 his friends * g5384 and * g2532 neighbours * g1069, saying * g3004 g5723 unto them * g846, Rejoice * g4796 g5645 with me * g3427; for * g3754 I have found * g2147 g5627 my * g3450 sheep * g4263 which * g3588 was lost * g622 g5756.
7 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, that * g3754 likewise * g3779 joy * g5479 shall be * g2071 g5704 in * g1722 heaven * g3772 over * g1909 one * g1520 sinner * g268 that repenteth * g3340 g5723, more than * g2228 over * g1909 ninety and nine * g1768 just persons * g1342, which * g3748 need * g2192 g5719 * g5532 no * g3756 repentance * g3341.
8 Either * g2228 what * g5101 woman * g1135 having * g2192 g5723 ten * g1176 pieces of silver * g1406, if * g1437 she lose * g622 g5661 one * g3391 piece * g1406, doth not * g3780 light * g681 g5719 a candle * g3088, and * g2532 sweep * g4563 g5719 the house * g3614, and * g2532 seek * g2212 g5719 diligently * g1960 till * g2193 * g3755 she find * g2147 g5632 it ? pieces...: drachma, here translated a piece of silver, is the eighth part of an ounce, which cometh to seven pence halfpenny, and is equal to the Roman penny
9 And * g2532 when she hath found * g2147 g5631 it , she calleth * g4779 her friends * g5384 and * g2532 her neighbours * g1069 together * g4779 g5731, saying * g3004 g5723, Rejoice * g4796 g5645 with me * g3427; for * g3754 I have found * g2147 g5627 the piece * g1406 which * g3739 I had lost * g622 g5656.
10 Likewise * g3779, I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, there is * g1096 g5736 joy * g5479 in the presence * g1799 of the angels * g32 of God * g2316 over * g1909 one * g1520 sinner * g268 that repenteth * g3340 g5723.
11 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627, A certain * g5100 man * g444 had * g2192 g5707 two * g1417 sons * g5207:
12 And * g2532 the younger * g3501 of them * g846 said * g2036 g5627 to his father * g3962, Father * g3962, give * g1325 g5628 me * g3427 the portion * g3313 of goods * g3776 that falleth * g1911 g5723 to me . And * g2532 he divided * g1244 g5627 unto them * g846 his living * g979.
13 And * g2532 not * g3756 many * g4183 days * g2250 after * g3326 the younger * g3501 son * g5207 gathered * g4863 all * g537 together * g4863 g5631, and took his journey * g589 g5656 into * g1519 a far * g3117 country * g5561, and * g2532 there * g1563 wasted * g1287 g5656 his * g846 substance * g3776 with riotous * g811 living * g2198 g5723.
14 And * g1161 when he * g846 had spent * g1159 g5660 all * g3956, there arose * g1096 g5633 a mighty * g2478 famine * g3042 in * g2596 that * g1565 land * g5561; and * g2532 he * g846 began * g756 g5662 to be in want * g5302 g5745.
15 And * g2532 he went * g4198 g5679 and joined himself * g2853 g5681 to * g1520 a citizen * g4177 of that * g1565 country * g5561; and * g2532 he sent * g3992 g5656 him * g846 into * g1519 his * g846 fields * g68 to feed * g1006 g5721 swine * g5519.
16 And * g2532 he would fain * g1937 g5707 have filled * g1072 g5658 his * g846 belly * g2836 with * g575 the husks * g2769 that * g3739 the swine * g5519 did eat * g2068 g5707: and * g2532 no man * g3762 gave * g1325 g5707 unto him * g846.
17 And * g1161 when he came * g2064 g5631 to * g1519 himself * g1438, he said * g2036 g5627, How many * g4214 hired servants * g3407 of my * g3450 father's * g3962 have bread * g740 enough and to spare * g4052 g5719, and * g1161 I * g1473 perish * g622 g5731 with hunger * g3042!
18 I will arise * g450 g5631 and go * g4198 g5695 to * g4314 my * g3450 father * g3962, and * g2532 will say * g2046 g5692 unto him * g846, Father * g3962, I have sinned * g264 g5627 against * g1519 heaven * g3772, and * g2532 before * g1799 thee * g4675,
19 And * g2532 am * g1510 g5748 no more * g3765 worthy * g514 to be called * g2564 g5683 thy * g4675 son * g5207: make * g4160 g5657 me * g3165 as * g5613 one * g1520 of thy * g4675 hired servants * g3407.
20 And * g2532 he arose * g450 g5631, and came * g2064 g5627 to * g4314 his * g1438 father * g3962. But * g1161 when he * g846 was yet * g2089 a great way * g3112 off * g568 g5723, his * g846 father * g3962 saw * g1492 g5627 him * g846, and * g2532 had compassion * g4697 g5675, and * g2532 ran * g5143 g5631, and fell * g1968 g5627 on * g1909 his * g846 neck * g5137, and * g2532 kissed * g2705 g5656 him * g846.
21 And * g1161 the son * g5207 said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, Father * g3962, I have sinned * g264 g5627 against * g1519 heaven * g3772, and * g2532 in * g1799 thy * g4675 sight * g1799, and * g2532 am * g1510 g5748 no more * g3765 worthy * g514 to be called * g2564 g5683 thy * g4675 son * g5207.
22 But * g1161 the father * g3962 said * g2036 g5627 to * g4314 his * g846 servants * g1401, Bring forth * g1627 g5657 the best * g4413 robe * g4749, and * g2532 put it on * g1746 g5657 him * g846; and * g2532 put * g1325 g5628 a ring * g1146 on * g1519 his * g846 hand * g5495, and * g2532 shoes * g5266 on * g1519 his feet * g4228:
23 And * g2532 bring hither * g5342 g5660 the fatted * g4618 calf * g3448, and kill * g2380 g5657 it ; and * g2532 let us eat * g5315 g5631, and be merry * g2165 g5686:
24 For * g3754 this * g3778 my * g3450 son * g5207 was * g2258 g5713 dead * g3498, and * g2532 is alive again * g326 g5656; * g2532 he was * g2258 g5713 lost * g622 g5756, and * g2532 is found * g2147 g5681. And * g2532 they began * g756 g5662 to be merry * g2165 g5745.
25 Now * g1161 his * g846 elder * g4245 son * g5207 was * g2258 g5713 in * g1722 the field * g68: and * g2532 as * g5613 he came * g2064 g5740 and drew nigh * g1448 g5656 to the house * g3614, he heard * g191 g5656 musick * g4858 and * g2532 dancing * g5525.
26 And * g2532 he called * g4341 g5666 one * g1520 of the servants * g3816, and asked * g4441 g5711 what * g5101 these things * g5023 meant * g1498 g5751.
27 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, * g3754 Thy * g4675 brother * g80 is come * g2240 g5719; and * g2532 thy * g4675 father * g3962 hath killed * g2380 g5656 the fatted * g4618 calf * g3448, because * g3754 he hath received * g618 g5627 him * g846 safe and sound * g5198 g5723.
28 And * g1161 he was angry * g3710 g5681, and * g2532 would * g2309 g5707 not * g3756 go in * g1525 g5629: therefore * g3767 came * g1831 his * g846 father * g3962 out * g1831 g5631, and intreated * g3870 g5707 him * g846.
29 And * g1161 he answering * g611 g5679 said * g2036 g5627 to his father * g3962, lo * g2400 g5628, these many * g5118 years * g2094 do I serve * g1398 g5719 thee * g4671, neither * g3763 transgressed I * g3928 g5627 at any time * g3763 thy * g4675 commandment * g1785: and * g2532 yet * g2532 thou * g1325 never * g3763 gavest * g1325 g5656 me * g1698 a kid * g2056, that * g2443 I might make merry * g2165 g5686 with * g3326 my * g3450 friends * g5384:
30 But * g1161 as soon as * g3753 this * g3778 thy * g4675 son * g5207 was come * g2064 g5627, which * g3588 hath devoured * g2719 g5631 thy * g4675 living * g979 with * g3326 harlots * g4204, thou hast killed * g2380 g5656 for him * g846 the fatted * g4618 calf * g3448.
31 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627 unto him * g846, Son * g5043, thou * g4771 art * g1488 g5748 ever * g3842 with * g3326 me * g1700, and * g2532 all * g3956 that I have * g1699 is * g2076 g5748 thine * g4674.
32 It was * g1161 meet * g1163 g5713 that we should make merry * g2165 g5683, and * g2532 be glad * g5463 g5646: for * g3754 this * g3778 thy * g4675 brother * g80 was * g2258 g5713 dead * g3498, and * g2532 is alive again * g326 g5656; and * g2532 was * g2258 g5713 lost * g622 g5756, and * g2532 is found * g2147 g5681.
