15:1
Now there were to him drawing near all the tax-collectors and the sinners
to hear him. 2 And greatly murmured both the Pharisees and the scribes
saying This man sinners receives and eats with
them. 3 And he spoke to them parable this saying: 4 What man of you having
a hundred sheep and losing of them one does not leave the ninety-nine
in the desert and goes after the one having been lost until he finds it? 5
and finding places on it on the shoulders of him rejoicing. 6 and coming
into the house he calls together the friends and the neighbours saying to
them: Rejoice with me, because I found the sheep of me having been lost. 7
I tell you that thus joy in heaven will be over one sinner repenting than
over nine-nine just men who no need have of repentance. 8. Or what woman
drachmae having ten, if she loses drachma one, does not light a lamp and
sweep the house and seek carefully until she finds? 9 and finding she calls
together the friends and neighbours saying: Rejoice with me, because I
found the drachma which I lost. 10 So I tell you, there is joy before the
angels of God over one sinner repenting. 11 And he said: A certain man had
two sons. 12 And said the younger of them to the father: Father, give me
the share of the property falling to me. And he divided to them the living.

after
not many days having gathered all things the younger son departed to
country afar, and there scattered the property of him living prodigally. 4
But having spent him all things there came famine a severe throughout
country that, and he began to be in want. 15 And going he was joined to one
of the citizens country of that, and he sent him into the fields of him to
feed pigs. 16 and he longed to fill the stomach of him out of with the
husks which ate the pigs, and no one gave to him. 17 to himself But coming
he said: How many hired servants of the father of me abound of loaves but I
with famine here am perishing. 18 rising up I will go to the father of me
and I will say to him: Father I sinned against heaven and before thee, 19
no longer am I worthy to be called a son of thee: make me as one of the
hired servants of thee. 20 and rising up he came to the father of himself.
But yet him afar being away saw him the father of him and was moved with
pity and running fell on the neck of him and fervently kissed him. 21 And
said the son to him: Father, I sinned against heaven and before thee, no
longer am I worthy to be called a son of thee. 22 But said the father to
the slaves of him: Quickly bring ye out a robe the first and clothe him,
and give a

to the hand of him and sandals to the feet, 23 and bring the calf fattened
kill, and eating let us be merry, 24 because this son of me dead was and
lived again was having been lost and was found. And they began to be merry.
25 But was the son of him older in a field and as coming he drew near to
the house, he heard music and dances. 26 and calling to him one of the lads
he inquired what might be these things. 27 And he said to him. The brother
of thee has come, and killed the father of tee the calf fattened, because
being in health him he received back. 28. But he was angry and did not wish
to enter; so the father of him coming out besought him. 29 But he answering
said to the father: Behold so many years I serve thee and never a command
of thee I transgressed, and to me never thou gavest a goat that with the
friends of me I might be merry. 30 but when son of thee this having
devoured of thee the living with harlots came, thou killest for him the
fattened calf. 31 And he said to him: Child thou always with me art, and
all things my thing are 32 to be merry And to rejoice it behoved us because
brother of thee this dead was and came to life and having been lost
also was found.
