  Luke chapter 15 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were
• 0:04
  coming near to listen to him. Both the Pharisees and the
• 0:07
  scribes began to grumble, saying, This man receives
• 0:09
  sinners and eats with them. So he told them this parable,
• 0:12
  saying, What man among you, if he has 100 sheep and has lost
• 0:16
  one of them, does not leave the 99 in the open pasture and go
• 0:19
  after the one which is lost, until he finds it?
• 0:22
  When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
• 0:25
  When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his
• 0:28
  neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have
• 0:30
  found my sheep which was lost. I tell you that in the same way
• 0:34
  there will be more joy in heaven over 1 Sinner who repents than
• 0:38
  over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance.
• 0:41
  Or what woman, if she has 10 silver coins and loses one coin,
• 0:45
  does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully
• 0:48
  until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls
• 0:51
  together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with
• 0:54
  me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.
• 0:57
  In the same way I tell you there is joy in the presence of the
• 1:00
  angels of God. Over 1 Sinner who repents.
• 1:03
  And he said, a man had two sons. The younger of them said to his
• 1:07
  father, Father, give me the share of the estate that falls
• 1:09
  to me. So he divided his wealth between
• 1:12
  them. And not many days later the
• 1:14
  younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey
• 1:16
  into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate
• 1:20
  with loose living. Now when he had spent
• 1:22
  everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he
• 1:25
  began to be impoverished. So he went and hired himself out
• 1:28
  to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into
• 1:31
  his fields to feed swine. And he would have gladly filled
• 1:34
  his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no
• 1:37
  one was giving anything to him. But when he came to his senses,
• 1:40
  he said, How many of my father's hired men have more than enough
• 1:44
  bread? But I am dying here with hunger.
• 1:46
  I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him,
• 1:49
  Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight I'm no
• 1:52
  longer worthy to be called your son.
• 1:55
  Make me as one of your hired men.
• 1:57
  So he got up and came to his father, But while he was still a
• 2:00
  long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and
• 2:04
  ran and embraced him and kissed him.
• 2:06
  And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven,
• 2:08
  and in your sight I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.
• 2:12
  But the father said to his slaves, quickly bring out the
• 2:15
  best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and
• 2:18
  sandals on his feet, and bring the fattened calf, Kill it and
• 2:21
  let us eat and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead
• 2:25
  and has come to life again. He was lost and has been found.
• 2:28
  And they began to celebrate. Now his older son was in the
• 2:32
  field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard
• 2:34
  music and dancing, and he summoned one of the servants and
• 2:37
  began inquiring what these things could be.
• 2:40
  And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has
• 2:43
  killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back
• 2:45
  safe and sound. But he became angry and was not
• 2:48
  willing to go in. And his father came out and
• 2:51
  began pleading with him. But he answered and said to his
• 2:53
  father, Look, for so many years I have been serving you, and I
• 2:57
  have never neglected a command of yours, and yet you have never
• 3:00
  given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends.
• 3:04
  When this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with
• 3:07
  prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.
• 3:11
  And he said to him, Son, you have always been with me, and
• 3:14
  all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and
• 3:17
  rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to
• 3:20
  live, and was lost and has been found.
