路加福音 15
迷羊的比喻
（太18．12－14）
1 許多稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽他講道。 2 法利賽人和文士私下議論說：「這個人接納罪人，又同他們吃飯。」
3 耶穌就用比喻對他們說： 4 「你們中間誰有一百隻羊，失去其中的一隻，不把這九十九隻留在曠野，去找那失去的羊，直到找著呢？ 5 找到了，他就歡歡喜喜地把羊扛在肩上。 6 他回到家裏，請朋友和鄰舍來，對他們說：『你們和我一同歡喜吧，我失去的羊已經找到了！』 7 我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在天上也要這樣為他歡喜，比為九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜還大呢！」
失錢的比喻
8 「同樣，哪一個婦人有十塊錢t，若失落一塊，不點上燈，打掃屋子，細細地找，直到找著呢？ 9 找到了，她就請朋友和鄰舍來，對她們說：『你們和我一同歡喜吧，我失落的那塊錢已經找到了！』 10 我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，上帝的使者也是這樣為他歡喜。」
浪子的比喻
11 耶穌又說：「一個人有兩個兒子。 12 小兒子對父親說：『父親，請你把我應得的家業分給我。』他父親就把財產分給他們。 13 過了不多幾天，小兒子把他一切所有的都收拾起來，往遠方去了。在那裏，他任意放蕩，浪費錢財。 14 他耗盡了一切所有的，又恰逢那地方有大饑荒，就窮困起來。 15 於是他去投靠當地的一個居民，那人打發他到田裏去放豬。 16 他恨不得拿豬所吃的豆莢充飢，也沒有人給他甚麼吃的。 17 他醒悟過來，就說：『我父親有多少雇工，糧食有餘，我倒在這裏餓死嗎？ 18 我要起來，到我父親那裏去，對他說：父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你， 19 從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧。』 20 於是他起來，往他父親那裏去。相離還遠，他父親看見，就動了慈心，跑去擁抱著他，連連親他。 21 兒子對他說：『父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你，從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子。』 22 父親卻吩咐僕人：『快把那上好的袍子拿出來給他穿，把戒指戴在他指頭上，把鞋穿在他腳上， 23 把那肥牛犢牽來宰了，我們來吃喝慶祝； 24 因為我這個兒子是死而復活，失而復得的。』他們就開始慶祝。
25 「那時，大兒子正在田裏。他回來，離家不遠時，聽見奏樂跳舞的聲音， 26 就叫一個僮僕來，問是甚麼事。 27 僮僕對他說：『你弟弟回來了，你父親因為他無災無病地回來，把肥牛犢宰了。』 28 大兒子就生氣，不肯進去，他父親出來勸他。 29 他對父親說：『你看，我服侍你這麼多年，從來沒有違背過你的命令，而你從來沒有給我一隻小山羊，叫我和朋友們一同快樂。 30 但你這個兒子和娼妓吃光了你的財產，他一回來，你倒為他宰了肥牛犢。』 31 父親對他說：『兒啊！你常和我同在，我所有的一切都是你的； 32 可是你這個弟弟是死而復活，失而復得的，所以我們理當歡喜慶祝。』」
LUKE 15
One Sheep
(Matthew 18.12-14)
1 t Tax collectorst and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus.
2 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, “This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.”
3 Then Jesus told them this story:
4 If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? 5 And when you find it, you will be so glad that you will put it on your shoulder
6 and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, “Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.”
7 Jesus said, “In the same way there is more happiness in heaven because of one sinner who turns to God than over 99 good people who don't need to.”One Coin
8 Jesus told the people another story:
What will a woman do if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them? Won't she light a lamp, sweep the floor, and look carefully until she finds it?
9 Then she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, “Let's celebrate! I've found the coin I lost.”
10 Jesus said, “In the same way God's angels are happy when even one person turns to him.”Two Sons
11 Jesus told them yet another story:
Once a man had two sons.
12 The younger son said to his father, “Give me my share of the property.” So the father divided his property between his two sons.
13 Not long after that, the younger son packed up everything he owned and left for a foreign country, where he wasted all his money in wild living.
14 He had spent everything, when a bad famine spread through that whole land. Soon he had nothing to eat.
15 He went to work for a man in that country, and the man sent him out to take care of his pigs.t
16 He would have been glad to eat what the pigs were eating, t but no one gave him a thing.
17 Finally, he came to his senses and said, “My father's workers have plenty to eat, and here I am, starving to death! 18 I will go to my father and say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you.
19 I am no longer good enough to be called your son. Treat me like one of your workers.’ ”
20 The younger son got up and started back to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt sorry for him. He ran to his son and hugged and kissed him.
21 The son said, “Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son.”
22 But his father said to the servants, “Hurry and bring the best clothes and put them on him. Give him a ring for his finger and sandalst for his feet. 23 Get the best calf and prepare it, so we can eat and celebrate.
24 This son of mine was dead, but has now come back to life. He was lost and has now been found.” And they began to celebrate.
25 The older son had been out in the field. But when he came near the house, he heard the music and dancing.
26 So he called one of the servants over and asked, “What's going on here?”
27 The servant answered, “Your brother has come home safe and sound, and your father ordered us to kill the best calf.”
28 The older brother got so angry that he would not even go into the house.
His father came out and begged him to go in. 29 But he said to his father, “For years I have worked for you like a slave and have always obeyed you. But you have never even given me a little goat, so that I could give a dinner for my friends.
30 This other son of yours wasted your money on prostitutes. And now that he has come home, you ordered the best calf to be killed for a feast.”
31 His father replied, “My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we should be glad and celebrate! Your brother was dead, but he is now alive. He was lost and has now been found.”
