1 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him,

2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying — This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

7 'I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.

14 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;

15 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine,
