Chapter Fifteen Then drew near unto him
all the publicans and sinners for to hear

00:06.060 --> 00:06.260
him.

00:06.780 --> 00:11.360
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured,
saying, This man receiveth sinners,

00:11.560 --> 00:12.920
and eateth with them.

00:13.240 --> 00:17.900
And he spake this parable unto them,
saying, What man of you, having an hundred

00:17.900 --> 00:22.360
sheep, if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine in the

00:22.360 --> 00:25.900
wilderness, and go after that which is
lost until he find it?

00:25.900 --> 00:30.240
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on
his shoulders, rejoicing.

00:31.000 --> 00:34.500
And when he cometh home, he calleth
together his friends and neighbors,

00:34.840 --> 00:39.600
saying unto them, Rejoice with me,
for I have found my sheep which was lost.

00:40.560 --> 00:46.360
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be
in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,

00:46.960 --> 00:50.920
more than over ninety and nine just
persons which need no repentance.

00:51.940 --> 00:56.420
Either what woman, having ten pieces of
silver, if she lose one piece,

00:56.920 --> 01:01.180
doth not light a candle, and sweep the
house, and seek diligently till she find

01:01.180 --> 01:01.400
it?

01:02.220 --> 01:05.940
And when she hath found it, she calleth
her friends and her neighbors together,

01:06.100 --> 01:10.300
saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found
the piece which I had lost.

01:11.340 --> 01:17.220
Likewise I say unto you, there is joy in
the presence of the angels of God over one

01:17.220 --> 01:18.680
sinner that repenteth.

01:18.680 --> 01:22.420
And he said, A certain man had two sons.

01:23.160 --> 01:27.240
And the younger of them said to his
father, Father, give me the portion of

01:27.240 --> 01:28.440
goods that falleth to me.

01:29.040 --> 01:30.880
And he divided unto them his living.

01:31.780 --> 01:35.820
And not many days after the younger son
gathered all together, and took his

01:35.820 --> 01:40.240
journey into a far country, and there
wasted his substance with riotous living.

01:41.160 --> 01:46.060
And when he had spent all, there arose a
mighty famine in that land, and he began

01:46.060 --> 01:46.820
to be in want.

01:47.400 --> 01:51.640
And he went and joined himself to a
citizen of that country, and he sent him

01:51.640 --> 01:53.380
into his field to feed swine.

01:54.180 --> 01:57.600
And he would fain have filled his belly
with the husks that the swine did eat,

01:58.020 --> 01:59.420
and no man gave unto him.

02:00.140 --> 02:05.140
And when he came to himself, he said,
How many hired servants of my father's

02:05.140 --> 02:08.280
have bread enough and to spare,
and I perish with hunger.

02:09.080 --> 02:13.200
I will arise and go to my father,
and will say unto him, Father,

02:13.380 --> 02:17.620
I have sinned against heaven and before
thee, and am no more worthy to be called

02:17.620 --> 02:18.220
thy son.

02:18.780 --> 02:20.940
Make me as one of thy hired servants.

02:21.860 --> 02:23.820
And he arose and came to his father.

02:24.620 --> 02:29.480
But when he was yet a great way off,
his father saw him and had compassion,

02:29.660 --> 02:32.160
and ran and fell on his neck and kissed
him.

02:32.900 --> 02:37.600
And the son said unto him, Father,
I have sinned against heaven and in thy

02:37.600 --> 02:40.900
sight, and am no more worthy to be called
thy son.

02:41.700 --> 02:46.520
But the father said to his servants,
Bring forth the best robe and put it on

02:46.520 --> 02:51.440
him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes
on his feet, and bring hither the fatted

02:51.440 --> 02:54.040
calf and kill it, and let us eat and be
merry.

02:54.740 --> 02:57.700
For this my son was dead and is alive
again.

02:58.260 --> 02:59.920
He was lost and is found.

03:00.560 --> 03:01.860
And they began to be merry.

03:02.920 --> 03:04.740
Now his elder son was in the field.

03:05.320 --> 03:08.500
And as he came and drew nigh to the house,
he heard music and dancing.

03:09.080 --> 03:11.840
And he called one of the servants and
asked what these things meant.

03:11.840 --> 03:17.280
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come,
and thy father hath killed the fatted

03:17.280 --> 03:20.080
calf, because he hath received him safe
and sound.

03:20.620 --> 03:22.880
And he was angry and would not go in.

03:23.700 --> 03:26.380
Therefore came his father out and
entreated him.

03:27.420 --> 03:32.960
And he answering said to his father,
Lo, these many years do I serve thee,

03:33.040 --> 03:35.980
neither transgressed I at any time thy
commandment.

03:36.340 --> 03:40.880
And yet thou never gavest me a kid,
that I might make merry with my friends.

03:40.880 --> 03:45.440
But as soon as this thy son was come,
which hath devoured thy living with

03:45.440 --> 03:48.480
harlots, thou hast killed for him the
fatted calf.

03:49.020 --> 03:55.320
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever
with me, and all that I have is thine.

03:56.020 --> 03:58.500
It was meet that we should make merry and
be glad.

03:59.100 --> 04:04.860
For this thy brother was dead and is alive
again, and was lost and is found.
