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.

CHAPTER 16.
