LUKE
Chapter 15
Luke | Webster | 15:2 | And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:4 | What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it? | |
Luke | Webster | 15:6 | And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:7 | I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, who need no repentance. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:8 | Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth [it]? | |
Luke | Webster | 15:9 | And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends and [her] neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:10 | Likewise, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:12 | And the younger of them said to [his] father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And he divided to them [his] living. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:13 | And 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. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:14 | And when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land; and he began to be in want. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:15 | And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:16 | And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave to him. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:17 | And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger! | |
Luke | Webster | 15:18 | I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, | |
Luke | Webster | 15:19 | And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:20 | And 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. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:21 | And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:22 | But 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: | |
Luke | Webster | 15:24 | For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:25 | Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:27 | And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him in health. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:28 | And he was angry, and would not go in; therefore his father came out, and entreated him. | |
Luke | Webster | 15:29 | And he answering, said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: | |
Luke | Webster | 15:30 | But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. | |
