Lk Chapter 15 Verses 1-32

15:1
Now
all
the
tax-farmers
and
sinners
came
near to
give
ear
to
him.
15:2
And
the
Pharisees
and
scribes
were
angry,
saying,
This
man
gives
approval
to
sinners,
and
takes
food
with
them.
15:3
And
he
made
a
story
for
them,
saying,
15:4
What
man
of
you,
having
a hundred
sheep,
if
one
of
them
gets
loose
and
goes away,
will not
let
the
ninety-nine
be
in
the
waste
land
by themselves,
and
go
after
the
wandering
one,
till
he
sees
where
it
is?
15:5
And
when
he
has
got
it
again,
he
takes
it
in
his
arms
with
joy.
15:6
And
when
he
gets
back to
his
house,
he
sends
for
his
neighbours
and
friends,
saying
to
them,
Be
glad
with
me,
for
I
have
got
back
my
sheep
which
had
gone away.
15:7
I
say
to
you
that
even
so
there
will
be
more
joy
in
heaven
when
one
sinner
is
turned
away from
his
wrongdoing,
than
for
ninety-nine
good
men,
who
have
no
need
of
a
change
of
heart.
15:8
Or
what
woman,
having
ten
bits
of
silver,
if
one
bit
has
gone
from
her
hands,
will not
get
a light,
and
go through
her
house,
searching
with
care
till
she
sees
it?
15:9
And
when
she
has
it
again,
she
gets
her
friends
and
neighbours
together,
saying,
Be
glad
with
me,
for
I
have
got
back
the
bit
of
silver
which
had
gone
from
me.
15:10
Even
so,
I
say
to
you,
There
is
joy
among
the
angels
of
God,
when
one
sinner
is
turned
away from
his
wrongdoing.
15:11
And
he
said,
A
certain
man
had
two
sons:
15:12
And
the
younger
of
them
said
to
his
father,
Father,
give
me
that
part of
your
property
which
will
be
mine.
And
he
made
division
of
his
goods
between
them.
15:13
And
not
long
after,
the
younger
son
got
together
everything
which
was
his
and
took
a
journey
into
a
far-away
country,
and
there
all
his
money
went
in
foolish
living.
15:14
And
when
everything
was
gone,
there
was
no food
to
be
had
in
that
country,
and
he
was
in
need.
15:15
And
he
went
and
put
himself
into
the
hands
of
one
of
the
people
of
that
country,
and
he
sent
him
into
his
fields
to
give
the
pigs
their
food.
15:16
And
so
great
was
his
need
that
he
would
have been
glad
to
take
the
pigs’
food,
and
no
one
gave
him
anything.
15:17
But
when
he
came to
his
senses,
he
said,
What
numbers
of
my
father’s
servants
have
bread
enough,
and
more,
while
I
am
near to
death
here
through
need
of
food!
15:18
I
will
get up
and
go to
my
father,
and
will
say
to
him,
Father,
I
have
done
wrong,
against
heaven
and
in
your
eyes:
15:19
I
am
no
longer
good
enough
to
be
named
your
son:
make
me
like
one
of
your
servants.
15:20
And
he
got up
and
went to
his
father.
But
while
he
was
still
far
away,
his
father
saw
him
and
was
moved
with
pity
for
him
and
went
quickly
and
took
him
in
his
arms
and
gave
him
a
kiss.
15:21
And
his
son
said
to
him,
Father,
I
have
done
wrong,
against
heaven
and
in
your
eyes:
I
am
no
longer
good
enough
to
be
named
your
son.
15:22
But
the
father
said
to
his
servants,
Get out
the
first
robe
quickly,
and
put
it
on
him,
and
put
a
ring
on
his
hand
and
shoes
on
his
feet:
15:23
And
get
the
fat
young
ox
and
put
it
to
death,
and
let
us
have
a
feast,
and
be
glad.
15:24
For
this,
my
son,
who
was
dead,
is
living
again;
he
had
gone away
from
me,
and
has
come back.
And
they
were
full
of
joy.
15:25
Now
the
older
son
was
in
the
field:
and
when
he
came
near
the
house,
the
sounds
of
music
and
dancing
came to
his
ears.
15:26
And
he
sent
for
one
of
the
servants,
questioning
him
about
what
it
might
be.
15:27
And
he
said
to
him,
Your
brother
has
come;
and
your
father
has had
the
young
ox
put
to
death
because
he
has
come back
safely.
15:28
But
he
was
angry
and
would not
go
in;
and
his
father
came out
and
made
a
request
to
him
to
come in.
15:29
But
he
made
answer
and
said
to
his
father,
See,
all
these
years
I
have been
your
servant,
doing
your
orders
in
everything:
and
you
never
gave
me
even
a
young
goat
so
that
I
might
have
a
feast
with
my
friends:
15:30
But
when
this
your
son
came,
who
has been
wasting
your
property
with
bad
women,
you
put
to
death
the
fat
young
ox
for
him.
15:31
And
he
said
to
him,
Son,
you
are
with
me
at
all
times,
and
all
I
have
is
yours.
15:32
But
it
was
right
to
be
glad
and
to
have
a
feast;
for
this
your
brother,
who
was
dead,
is
living
again;
he
had
gone away
and
has
come back.
