    12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his livelihood.

    13And not many days after, the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey to a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

    14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

    15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

    16And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the pigs ate: and no one gave him anything.

    17And when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough to spare, and I perish with hunger!

    18I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

    19And am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me like one of your hired servants.

    20And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

    21And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and 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; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

    23And bring the fatted calf here and kill it; and let us eat and be merry:

    24For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

    25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

    26And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.

    27And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.

    28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and pleaded with him.

    29And he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years I have served you, nor have I transgressed at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends:

    30But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.

    31And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

    32It was right that we should make merry and be glad: for this your brother was dead and is alive again; and was lost and is found.

    28But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard.

    29He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented and went.

    30And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir; but he did not go.

    31Which of the two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax collectors and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

    3And he spoke this parable to them, saying,

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

    5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

    6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

    7I say to you, that likewise there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

    11For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

    12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that has gone astray?

    13And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.

    14Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
