路加福音 15

失羊的比喻

1 众税吏和罪人，都接近耶稣，要听他讲道。2 法利赛人和经学家，纷纷议论说：“这个人接待罪人，又和他们一起吃饭。”3 耶稣就对他们讲了这个比喻，说：4 “你们中间谁有一百只羊，失去一只，不把九十九只留下在旷野，去寻找那失落的，直到找着呢？5 既找着了，就欢欢喜喜地放在肩上，6 回到家里，请朋友邻舍来，对他们说：‘请大家和我一同欢乐，因为我失去的羊已经找到了！’7 我告诉你们，因为一个罪人悔改，天上也要这样为他欢乐，比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢乐更大。
失银币的比喻8 “或是一个女人，有十个银币，失去一个，哪能不点上灯，打扫屋子，细细地找，直到找着呢？9 既找着了，就请朋友邻舍来，说：‘请大家和我一同欢乐，因为我失去的那个银币，已经找到了。’10 我告诉你们，因为一个罪人悔改， 神的使者也必这样为他欢乐。”
浪子的比喻11 耶稣又说：“某人有两个儿子。12 小儿子对父亲说：‘爸爸，请把我应得的家业给我。’父亲就把财产分给他们两兄弟。13 过了不多几天，小儿子收拾一切，到远方去了，在那里生活放荡，浪费钱财。14 他花尽了一切所有的，那地方又遇上了严重的饥荒，就穷困起来；15 于是他去投靠当地的一个居民。那人打发他到田里去放猪，16 他恨不得吃猪所吃的豆荚，可是没有人给他。17 他醒悟过来，说：‘我父亲有那么多雇工，又有丰富的食物，我却要在这里饿死吗？18 我要起来，到我父亲那里去，对他说：爸爸，我得罪了天，也得罪了你，19 不配再称为你的儿子，把我当作一个雇工吧！’20 于是他起来往父亲那里去。他还在远处时，他父亲看见了他，就动了慈心，跑过去抱着他，连连与他亲吻。21 儿子说：‘爸爸，我得罪了天，也得罪了你，不配再称为你的儿子。’22 父亲却吩咐仆人说：‘快把那最好的袍子拿来给他穿，把戒指戴在他手上，把鞋穿在他脚上，23 把肥牛犊牵来宰了，我们要吃喝快乐，24 因为我这儿子是死而复活、失而又得的。’他们就欢乐起来。25 “那时，大儿子正在田里。他回来离家不远的时候，听见音乐跳舞的声音，26 就叫了一个仆人来，问他这是怎么一回事。27 仆人说：‘你弟弟回来了，你父亲因为他平安无恙地回来，就宰了肥牛犊。’28 大儿子就生气，不肯进去；父亲出来劝他。29 他对父亲说：‘你看，我服事你这么多年，从来没有违背过你的命令，可是你没有给我一只山羊羔，叫我和朋友一同欢乐。30 但你这个儿子，常常跟娼妓在一起，花尽了你的财产，他一回来，你倒为他宰杀肥牛犊！’31 父亲对他说：‘孩子，你常跟我在一起，我的一切都是你的。32 只是因为你这个弟弟是死而复活、失而又得的，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
