    12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided the property between them.

    13Not long after, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in reckless living.

    14After he had spent everything, a severe famine arose throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

    15So he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

    16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

    17But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but here I am dying from hunger!

    18I will rise up and go to my father and say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

    19I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.’

    20And he rose up and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran, embraced him, and kissed him.

    21The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

    22But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.

    23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us eat and celebrate!

    24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

    25Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. As he came and drew near the house, he heard music and dancing.

    26So he called one of the servants and asked what these things were about.

    27He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'

    28But he became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

    29But he answered his father, 'Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

    30But when this son of yours came, who has squandered your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!'

    31The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

    32But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'

    28What do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

    30The man then went to the second son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go.

    3So He told them this parable, saying:

    4What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?

    5And when he finds it, he joyfully places it on his shoulders.

    6And coming home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'

    7I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

    11For the Son of Man came to save what was lost.

    12What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go to look for the one that wandered away?

    13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not wander away.

    14In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that any of these little ones should perish.
