路加福音 15
迷羊的比喻
1 当时，税吏和罪人都接近耶稣，听他讲说。2 法利赛人和经文士抱怨，说：“这个人欢迎罪人，又与他们一起吃饭。”
3 于是耶稣对他们讲了这个比喻：4 “你们当中的哪一个人拥有一百只羊，而丢失其中的一只，就不会把九十九只留在旷野，去找那一只丢失的，直到找到了它呢？5 一旦找到了，他就快快乐乐地扛在自己的肩上，6 回到家里请朋友和邻居来，对他们说：‘你们与我一同欢乐吧，因为我找到了那只丢失的羊。’7 我告诉你们：同样，一个罪人的悔改，比九十九个不需要悔改的义人，会让天上更有喜乐。
失钱的比喻
8 “或者，如果一个妇人有十个银币t，丢失了一个，难道她不点上油灯，打扫屋子，仔细寻找，直到找到了它吗？9 一旦找到了，她就会请朋友和邻居来，说：‘你们与我一同欢乐吧，因为我找到了那个丢失的银币t。’10 同样，我告诉你们：一个罪人的悔改，会让神的天使们面前有喜乐。”
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：‘父亲，请把我应得的那份家产给我。’父亲就把财产分给两个儿子。13 没过几天，那小儿子就收拾了一切，往一个遥远的地方去旅行了。他在那里过着放荡的生活，挥霍他的钱财。14 当他花尽了自己的一切，那地方又发生了严重的饥荒，他就开始穷困起来。15 于是他去投靠当地的一个居民，那人打发他到自己的田里去放猪。16 他就是渴望拿猪吃的豆荚来充饥t，也没有人给他。17 可是他醒悟过来的时候，就说：‘我父亲那么多的雇工都食物充足，我却要在这里饿死t吗？18 我要起来，到我父亲那里去，对他说：‘父亲，我对天犯了罪，也在你面前犯了罪。19 我再也不配称为你的儿子，请把我当做你的一个雇工吧。’20 于是他起来往自己的父亲那里去。他离得还远的时候，他父亲就看到他，动了怜悯之心，跑上去搂住他的脖子亲吻他。21 儿子说：‘父亲，我对天犯了罪，也在你面前犯了罪。我再也不配称为你的儿子。’
22 “父亲却对奴仆们说：‘赶快t把那最好的袍子拿来给他穿上，把戒指戴在他手上，把鞋子穿在他脚上，23 把那只养肥的牛犊牵来宰杀了，让我们吃喝、庆祝吧！24 因为我这个儿子是死而复生、失而复得的。’于是他们开始庆祝。
25 “那时，大儿子正在田里。当他往回走，快到家的时候，听见音乐和跳舞的声音，26 就叫来一个仆人，问这些到底是什么事。27 仆人对他说：‘你弟弟t回来了。你父亲因他平安无恙地回来，就宰杀了那只养肥的牛犊。’
28 “大儿子发怒，不肯进去，他父亲就出来劝t他。29 他回答父亲，说：‘你看，我服事你这么多年，从来没有违背过你的命令，可是你从来没有给过我一只小山羊，好让我与朋友们一同庆祝。30 而你这个儿子，这个与妓女们一起吞尽了你财产的，他一来了，你就为他宰杀了养肥的牛犊！’
31 “父亲对他说：‘孩子啊，你一直与我在一起，我的一切都是你的。32 现在，我们应该庆祝、欢喜，因为你这个弟弟是死而复生、失而复得的。’”
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
