Luke 15:14
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. |
||
¶And he spake this parable unto them, saying, |
||
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. |
||
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. |
||
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. |
||
¶And he said, A certain man had two sons: |
||
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. |
||
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. |
||
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! |
||
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. |
||
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. |
||
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: |
||
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. |
||
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. |
||
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: |
||
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. |
