路加福音 15

迷失的羊

1 许多税吏和罪人都来听耶稣讲道，2 法利赛人和律法教师埋怨说：“这个人竟和罪人来往，还跟他们一起吃饭。”3 耶稣给他们讲了一个比喻：4 “如果你们有人有一百只羊，走失了一只，难道他不暂时把那九十九只留在草场上，去找那只迷失的羊，一直到找着为止吗？5 他找到后，会欢欢喜喜地把那只羊扛回家，6 并邀来朋友邻居，说，‘我走失的羊找到了，来和我一同庆祝吧！’7 我告诉你们，同样，一个罪人悔改，在天上也要这样为他欢喜，甚至比有九十九个不用悔改的义人还欢喜。

丢钱的比喻

8 “又比如一个妇人有十块钱，不小心弄丢了一块，难道她不点亮灯，打扫房子，仔细寻找一直到找着为止吗？9 她找到后，会邀朋友邻居来，说，‘我丢的钱找到了，来和我一同庆祝吧！’10 我告诉你们，同样，一个罪人悔改，上帝的众天使也会这样为他欢喜。”

浪子回头

11 耶稣又说：“某人有两个儿子。12 小儿子对父亲说，‘父亲，请你把我应得的家产分给我。’父亲就把财产分给了两个儿子。

13 “没过几天，小儿子带着他所有的财物出门远游去了。他终日在外花天酒地，挥金如土，14 很快囊空如洗，又遇到严重的饥荒，就陷入困境，15 只好投靠一个当地人。那人派他到田里去放猪，16 他饿到恨不得拿喂猪的豆荚充饥，可是连这些也没有人给他。17 最后，他醒悟过来，心想，“在我父亲家里，连雇工的口粮都绰绰有余，我现在却要在这里饿死吗？18 我要动身回到我父亲身边，对他说，父亲，我得罪了天，也得罪了你，19 今后，我再也不配做你的儿子，请把我当作雇工看待吧。’20 于是他动身回家。他父亲远远地看见他，就动了慈心，跑上前去抱着他连连亲吻。21 小儿子说，‘父亲，我得罪了天，也得罪了你，今后，我再也不配做你的儿子。’

22 “父亲却对奴仆说，“赶快拿最好的袍子来给他穿上，给他戴上戒指，穿上鞋，23 把那只肥牛犊牵来宰了，让我们一同欢宴庆祝！24 因我这儿子是死而复活、失而复得的。’于是他们欢宴庆祝。

25 “那时，大儿子正在田间。当他回来还没到门口，就听见家里传出奏乐跳舞的声音。26 他叫来一个奴仆问个究竟。27 奴仆回答说，‘你弟弟回来了！你父亲因他无灾无难地回来，特地宰了那只肥牛犊。’28 大儿子很生气，不肯进去。父亲就出来劝他。29 他对父亲说，“你看，我伺候你这么多年，从来没有违背过你的命令，可是你没有给过我一只羊羔，让我和朋友一同欢宴。30 但你这个儿子在娼妓身上耗尽家财，一回来，你倒为他宰了肥牛犊！’

31 “父亲对他说，“孩子啊！你一直在我身边，我所有的一切都是你的。32 可是你弟弟是死而复活、失而复得的，所以我们应该欢喜快乐。’”

Luke 15

The Parable of the Lost Sheep and Coin

1 Now all the tax collectorss and sinners were comingt to hear him.

2 Butt the Phariseess and the experts in the lawt were complaining,t “This man welcomest sinners and eats with them.”
3 Sot Jesust told thems this parable:t4 “Which onet of you, if he has a hundreds sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasturet and go look fort the one that is lost until he finds it?s5 Thent when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.6 Returningt home, he calls togethers hist friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’

7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinners who repents than over ninety-nine righteous peoplet who have no need to repent.t
8 “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coinss and losest one of them,t does not light a lamp, sweept the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?9 Thent when she has found it, she calls together hert friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoices with me, for I have found the coint that I had lost.’

10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angelss over one sinner who repents.”

The Parable of the Compassionate Father

11 Thent Jesust said, “A man had two sons.12 Thet younger of them said to hist father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estatet that will belongt to me.’ Sot he divided hist assets between them.s13 Aftert a few days,t the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squanderedt his wealtht with a wild lifestyle.14 Thent after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.15 So he went and worked fort one of the citizens of that country, whot sent him to his fields to feed pigs.s16 Het was longing to eatt the carob podst the pigs were eating, butt no one gave him anything.17 But when he came to his sensest he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have foodt enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!18 I will get up and go to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinneds against heavens and againstt you.19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat met like one of your hired workers.”’20 Sot he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from homet his father saw him, and his heart went out to him;ts he ran and huggedt his sont and kissed him.21 Thent his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heavens and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’s22 But the father said to his slaves,t ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe,s and put it on him! Put a ring on his fingert and sandalss on his feet!23 Bringt the fattened calft and kill it! Let us eatt and celebrate,

24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again – he was lost and is found!’s Sot they began to celebrate.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. Ast he came and approached the house, he heard musics and dancing.26 Sot he called one of the slavest and asked what was happening.27 The slave replied,t ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calft because he got his sont back safe and sound.’28 But the older sont became angryt and refuseds to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,29 but he answeredt his father, ‘Look! These many years I have worked like a slavet for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yett you never gave me even a goats so that I could celebrate with my friends!30 But when this son of yourss came back, who has devoureds your assets with prostitutes,s you killed the fattened calfs for him!’31 Thent the fathert said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.

32 It was appropriatet to celebrate and be glad, for your brothers was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”s
