Luke 15

1 The parable of the lost sheep: 8 of the piece of silver: 11 of the prodigal son.

 15:1 ¶ Then 1161 drew near 2258 1448 z5713 z5723 unto him 846 all 3956 the x3588 publicans 5057 and 2532 sinners 268 for to hear 191 z5721 him. 846

 15:2 And 2532 the x3588 Pharisees 5330 and 2532 scribes 1122 murmured, 1234 z5707 saying, 3004 z5723 This man 3778 y3754 receiveth 4327 z5736 sinners, 268 and 2532 eateth y4906 z5719 with x4906 them. 846

 15:3 ¶ And 1161 he spake 2036 z5627 this 5026 parable 3850 unto 4314 them, 846 saying, 3004 z5723

 15:4 What 5101 man 444 of 1537 you, 5216 having 2192 z5723 an hundred 1540 sheep, 4263 if 2532 he lose 622 z5660 one 1520 of 1537 them, 846 doth y2641 z0 not 3756 leave 2641 z5719 the x3588 ninety and nine 1768 in 1722 the x3588 wilderness, 2048 and 2532 go 4198 z5736 after 1909 that which is lost, 622 z5756 until 2193 he find 2147 z5632 it? 846

 15:5 And 2532 when he hath found 2147 z5631 [it], he layeth 2007 z5719 [it] on 1909 his 1438 shoulders, 5606 rejoicing. 5463 z5723

 15:6 And 2532 when he cometh 2064 z5631 y1519 home, 3624 he calleth together 4779 z5719 [his] friends 5384 and 2532 neighbours, 1069 saying 3004 z5723 unto them, 846 Rejoice y4796 z5645 with x4796 me; 3427 for 3754 I have found 2147 z5627 my 3450 sheep 4263 which y3588 was lost. 622 z5756

 15:7 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 that 3754 likewise 3779 joy 5479 shall be 2071 z5704 in 1722 heaven 3772 over 1909 one 1520 sinner 268 that repenteth, 3340 z5723 more than 2228 over 1909 ninety and nine 1768 just persons, 1342 which 3748 need 2192 5532 z5719 no 3756 repentance. 3341

 15:8 ¶ Either 2228 what 5101 woman 1135 having 2192 z5723 ten 1176 pieces of silver, 1406 if 1437 she lose 622 z5661 one 3391 piece, 1406 doth not 3780 light 681 z5719 a candle, 3088 and 2532 sweep 4563 z5719 the x3588 house, 3614 and 2532 seek 2212 z5719 diligently 1960 till 2193 y3755 she x3755 find 2147 z5632 [it]?

 15:9 And 2532 when she hath found 2147 z5631 [it], she calleth y4779 z0 [her] friends y5384 and y2532 [her] neighbours y1069 together, 4779 z5731 x5384 x2532 x1069 saying, 3004 z5723 Rejoice y4796 z5645 with x4796 me; 3427 for 3754 I have found 2147 z5627 the x3588 piece 1406 which 3739 I had lost. 622 z5656

 15:10 Likewise, 3779 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 there is 1096 z5736 joy 5479 in the presence 1799 of the x3588 angels 32 of God 2316 over 1909 one 1520 sinner 268 that repenteth. 3340 z5723

 15:11 ¶ And 1161 he said, 2036 z5627 A certain 5100 man 444 had 2192 z5707 two 1417 sons: 5207

 15:12 And 2532 the x3588 younger 3501 of them 846 said 2036 z5627 to [his] father, 3962 Father, 3962 give 1325 z5628 me 3427 the x3588 portion 3313 of goods 3776 that falleth 1911 z5723 [to me]. And 2532 he divided 1244 z5627 unto them 846 [his] living. 979

 15:13 And 2532 not 3756 many 4183 days 2250 after 3326 the x3588 younger 3501 son 5207 gathered y4863 z0 all y537 together, 4863 z5631 x537 and took his journey 589 z5656 into 1519 a far 3117 country, 5561 and 2532 there 1563 wasted 1287 z5656 his y846 x848 substance 3776 with riotous 811 living. 2198 z5723

 15:14 And 1161 when he 846 had spent 1159 z5660 all, 3956 there arose 1096 z5633 a mighty 2478 famine 3042 in 2596 that 1565 land; 5561 and 2532 he 846 began 756 z5662 to be in want. 5302 z5745

 15:15 And 2532 he went 4198 z5679 and joined x2853 himself y2853 z5681 to y1520 a x1520 citizen 4177 of that 1565 country; 5561 and 2532 he sent 3992 z5656 him 846 into 1519 his y846 x848 fields 68 to feed 1006 z5721 swine. 5519

 15:16 And 2532 he would fain 1937 z5707 have filled 1072 z5658 his y846 x848 belly 2836 with 575 the x3588 husks 2769 that 3739 the x3588 swine 5519 did eat: 2068 z5707 and 2532 no man 3762 gave 1325 z5707 unto him. 846

 15:17 And 1161 when he came 2064 z5631 to 1519 himself, 1438 he said, 2036 z5627 How many 4214 hired servants 3407 of my 3450 father's 3962 have bread y740 enough and to spare, 4052 z5719 x740 and 1161 I 1473 perish 622 z5731 with hunger! 3042

 15:18 I will arise 450 z5631 and go 4198 z5695 to 4314 my 3450 father, 3962 and 2532 will say 2046 z5692 unto him, 846 Father, 3962 I have sinned 264 z5627 against 1519 heaven, 3772 and 2532 before 1799 thee, 4675

 15:19 And 2532 am 1510 z5748 no more 3765 worthy 514 to be called 2564 z5683 thy 4675 son: 5207 make 4160 z5657 me 3165 as 5613 one 1520 of thy 4675 hired servants. 3407

 15:20 And 2532 he arose, 450 z5631 and came 2064 z5627 to 4314 his 1438 father. 3962 But 1161 when he 846 was yet y2089 a great way y3112 off, 568 z5723 x2089 x3112 his 846 father 3962 saw 1492 z5627 him, 846 and 2532 had compassion, 4697 z5675 and 2532 ran, 5143 z5631 and fell 1968 z5627 on 1909 his 846 neck, 5137 and 2532 kissed 2705 z5656 him. 846

 15:21 And 1161 the x3588 son 5207 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Father, 3962 I have sinned 264 z5627 against 1519 heaven, 3772 and 2532 in y1799 z0 thy y4675 sight, 1799 x4675 and 2532 am 1510 z5748 no more 3765 worthy 514 to be called 2564 z5683 thy 4675 son. 5207

 15:22 But 1161 the x3588 father 3962 said 2036 z5627 to 4314 his y846 x848 servants, 1401 Bring forth 1627 z5657 the x3588 best 4413 robe, 4749 and 2532 put [it] on 1746 z5657 him; 846 and 2532 put 1325 z5628 a ring 1146 on 1519 his 846 hand, 5495 and 2532 shoes 5266 on 1519 [his] feet: 4228

 15:23 And 2532 bring hither 5342 z5660 the x3588 fatted 4618 calf, 3448 and kill 2380 z5657 [it]; and 2532 let us eat, 5315 z5631 and be merry: 2165 z5686

 15:24 For 3754 this 3778 my 3450 son 5207 was 2258 z5713 dead, 3498 and 2532 is alive again; 326 z5656 y2532 he was 2258 z5713 lost, 622 z5756 and 2532 is found. 2147 z5681 And 2532 they began 756 z5662 to be merry. 2165 z5745

 15:25 Now 1161 his 846 elder 4245 son 5207 was 2258 z5713 in 1722 the field: 68 and 2532 as 5613 he came 2064 z5740 and drew nigh 1448 z5656 to the x3588 house, 3614 he heard 191 z5656 musick 4858 and 2532 dancing. 5525

 15:26 And 2532 he called 4341 z5666 one 1520 of the x3588 servants, 3816 and x2532 asked 4441 z5711 what 5101 these things 5023 meant. 1498 z5751

 15:27 And 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 y3754 Thy 4675 brother 80 is come; 2240 z5719 and 2532 thy 4675 father 3962 hath killed 2380 z5656 the x3588 fatted 4618 calf, 3448 because 3754 he hath received 618 z5627 him 846 safe and sound. 5198 z5723

 15:28 And 1161 he was angry, 3710 z5681 and 2532 would 2309 z5707 not 3756 go in: 1525 z5629 therefore 3767 came y1831 z0 his y846 father y3962 out, 1831 z5631 x846 x3962 and x2532 intreated 3870 z5707 him. 846

 15:29 And 1161 he x3588 answering 611 z5679 said 2036 z5627 to [his] father, 3962 Lo, 2400 z5628 these many 5118 years 2094 do I serve 1398 z5719 thee, 4671 neither y3763 z0 x2532 transgressed x3928 I y3928 z5627 at any time y3763 x3762 thy 4675 commandment: 1785 and 2532 yet y2532 thou y1325 z0 never y3763 x3762 gavest 1325 z5656 me 1698 a kid, 2056 that 2443 I might make merry 2165 z5686 with 3326 my 3450 friends: 5384

 15:30 But 1161 as soon as 3753 this 3778 thy 4675 son 5207 was come, 2064 z5627 which y3588 hath devoured 2719 z5631 thy y4675 living 979 with 3326 harlots, 4204 thou hast killed 2380 z5656 for him 846 the x3588 fatted 4618 calf. 3448

 15:31 And 1161 he x3588 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Son, 5043 thou 4771 art 1488 z5748 ever 3842 with 3326 me, 1700 and 2532 all 3956 that I have 1699 is 2076 z5748 thine. 4674

 15:32 It x1161 was y1161 meet 1163 z5713 that we should make merry, 2165 z5683 and 2532 be glad: 5463 z5646 for 3754 this 3778 thy 4675 brother 80 was 2258 z5713 dead, 3498 and 2532 is alive again; 326 z5656 and 2532 was 2258 z5713 lost, 622 z5756 and 2532 is found. 2147 z5681
