누가복음 15장 NASB
- 1 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him.
- 2 Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble saying "This man receives sinners and eats with them."
- 3 So He told them this parable saying
- 4 "What man among you if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
- 5 "When he has found it he lays it on his shoulders rejoicing.
- 6 "And when he comes home he calls together his friends and his neighbors saying to them 'Rejoice with me for I have found my sheep which was lost!'
- 7 "I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
- 8 "Or what woman if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?
- 9 "When she has found it she calls together her friends and neighbors saying 'Rejoice with me for I have found the coin which I had lost!'
- 10 "In the same way I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
- 11 And He said "A man had two sons.
- 12 "The younger of them said to his father 'Father give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them.
- 13 "And not many days later the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country and there he squandered his estate with loose living.
- 14 "Now when he had spent everything a severe famine occurred in that country and he began to be impoverished.
- 15 "So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
- 16 "And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating and no one was giving anything to him.
- 17 "But when he came to his senses he said 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread but I am dying here with hunger!
- 18 'I will get up and go to my father and will say to him "Father I have sinned against heaven and in your sight;
- 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men."'
- 20 "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off his father saw him and felt compassion for him and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
- 21 "And the son said to him 'Father I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
- 22 "But the father said to his slaves 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;
- 23 and bring the fattened calf kill it and let us eat and celebrate;
- 24 for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.
- 25 "Now his older son was in the field and when he came and approached the house he heard music and dancing.
- 26 "And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be.
- 27 "And he said to him 'Your brother has come and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'
- 28 "But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.
- 29 "But he answered and said to his father 'Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends;
- 30 but when this son of yours came who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes you killed the fattened calf for him.'
- 31 "And he said to him 'Son you have always been with me and all that is mine is yours.
- 32 'But we had to celebrate and rejoice for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live and was lost and has been found.'"
