- 15:5 And when he finds it, he hoists it onto his shoulders, delighted. 2
- 15:13 Only a few days later the younger son packed up everything he owned and traveled to a far country, where he threw his property away on a reckless way of life. 2
- 15:19 I do not deserve to be called your son any longer. Take me on as one of your hired workers."' 2
- 15:21 His son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I do not deserve to be called your son any longer.' 2

- 15:8 Or what woman with ten silver coins, if she lost one of them, would not light a lamp, sweep out her house and hunt for it carefully until she found it? 1
- 15:24 for my son here was dead, and now he lives again. He was lost, and now he has been found.' And the celebration began. 1
- 15:25 All this time the older son had been out in the field. On his way back, as he came close to the house, the sound of music and dancing reached him. 1
- 15:27 'Your brother is home,' the servant told him, 'and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf, because his son has come back to him alive and well.' 1
- 15:28 At this he grew angry and would not go inside. His father came out and appealed to him. 1
- 15:30 But this son of yours has eaten up your property with prostitutes, and the moment he turns up, you slaughter the fattened calf for him!' 1
