Gelijkenissen van Jezus
15 De tolontvangers en andere mensen met een slechte reputatie kwamen vaak naar Jezus luisteren. 2 Dat lokte de kritiek van de Farizeeën en de bijbelgeleerden uit. Zij vonden het een schande dat Hij Zich met zulk soort mensen bemoeide. Hij ging zelfs met hen eten! 3 Om hun duidelijk te maken waarom Hij dat deed, zei Hij: 4 ‘Als u nu eens honderd schapen had en één ervan raakte verdwaald, wat zou u dan doen? Het zoeken! Net zolang tot u het vond. De andere negenennegentig zou u gewoon laten grazen. 5 Als u het verdwaalde schaap dan vond, 6 zou u uw vrienden en buren bij elkaar roepen en zeggen: “Luister. Mijn schaap was verdwaald en ik heb het teruggevonden. Zijn jullie ook niet blij?” 7 Zo is ook in de hemel meer blijdschap over één zondaar die bij God terugkomt dan over negenennegentig anderen die niet verdwaald waren.
8 Of denk eens aan een vrouw die tien zilveren muntjes had en één ervan verloor. Zou ze niet een lamp aansteken en overal zoeken en het hele huis aanvegen tot ze de munt vond? 9 Ze zou haar vriendinnen en buurvrouwen bij elkaar roepen en zeggen: “Zijn jullie ook niet blij dat ik de zilveren munt die ik kwijt was, weer heb gevonden?” 10 Ik zeg u dat er bij de engelen van God grote blijdschap is als één zondaar bij God terugkomt.’
11 Jezus vertelde nog een gelijkenis. ‘Een man had twee zonen. 12 Op een dag zei de jongste: “Vader, ik wil mijn deel van de erfenis nu al hebben.” De vader verdeelde zijn bezit tussen zijn twee zonen. 13 Een paar dagen later pakte de jongste zoon zijn bezittingen en ging op reis naar een ver land. Daar verbraste hij zijn hele hebben en houden. 14 Juist toen hij niets meer over had, werd het land getroffen door een vreselijke hongersnood. 15 Het zag er heel slecht voor hem uit. Hij wist een baantje te krijgen bij een boer en moest naar het land om op de varkens te passen. 16 Hij had zoʼn honger dat hij graag wat van het varkensvoer had gegeten, maar dat mocht niet. 17 Eindelijk kwam hij tot bezinning en dacht bij zichzelf: “Bij mijn vader thuis hebben zelfs de knechts meer dan genoeg te eten. En kijk mij hier nu eens zitten! Ik sterf bijna van de honger. 18 Ik weet wat! Ik ga naar mijn vader en zal hem zeggen: ‘Vader, ik heb gezondigd tegen God en tegen u. 19 Ik ben het niet waard nog langer uw zoon genoemd te worden. 20 Wilt u mij aannemen als knecht?’ ” Zo ging hij op weg naar het huis van zijn vader. Die zag hem al in de verte aankomen en had erg met hem te doen. De man holde hem tegemoet, viel hem om de hals en kuste hem. 21 “Vader,” zei de zoon, “ik heb gezondigd tegen God en tegen u. Ik ben het niet langer waard uw zoon genoemd te worden…” 22 Maar de vader liet hem niet eens uitspreken en zei tegen de knechten: “Vlug! Haal de mooiste kleren die we in huis hebben en geef hem die om aan te trekken. Geef hem een ring voor zijn vinger en een paar sandalen. 23 Slacht het kalf dat we hebben vetgemest. Wij gaan feestvieren. 24 Want mijn jongste zoon was dood en is weer levend geworden. Ik was hem kwijt en heb hem weer terug.” En zij vierden feest.
25 Ondertussen was de oudste zoon op het land aan het werk. Toen hij thuiskwam, hoorde hij dansmuziek. 26 Hij riep een knecht en vroeg wat er aan de hand was. 27 “Uw broer is terug,” antwoordde de knecht, “en uw vader heeft het mestkalf laten slachten. Hij is zo blij dat uw broer weer gezond en wel thuis gekomen is.” 28 De oudste broer werd kwaad en wilde niet naar binnen gaan. Zijn vader kwam naar buiten en probeerde hem mee te krijgen. 29 Maar hij antwoordde: “Luister, vader! Al die jaren heb ik mij voor u uitgesloofd. Ik heb altijd gedaan wat u zei. Maar u hebt mij nog nooit een bokje gegeven om te slachten en feest te vieren met mijn vrienden. 30 Nu komt die zoon van u thuis, hij heeft eerst uw geld er bij de hoeren doorgejaagd en wat doet u? U slacht voor hem het beste kalf dat we hebben!” 31 “Maar jongen,” zei de vader, “jij en ik zijn altijd samen. Alles wat van mij is, is van jou. 32 Wij kunnen niet anders dan feestvieren. Het is je eigen broer. Hij was dood en is weer levend geworden. We waren hem kwijt en hebben hem nu terug.” ’

15 Tous les publicains et les gens de mauvaise vie s'approchaient de Jésus pour l'entendre.
2 Et les pharisiens et les scribes murmuraient, disant: Cet homme accueille des gens de mauvaise vie, et mange avec eux.
3 Mais il leur dit cette parabole:
4 Quel homme d'entre vous, s'il a cent brebis, et qu'il en perde une, ne laisse les quatre-vingt-dix-neuf autres dans le désert pour aller après celle qui est perdue, jusqu'à ce qu'il la retrouve?
5 Lorsqu'il l'a retrouvée, il la met avec joie sur ses épaules,
6 et, de retour à la maison, il appelle ses amis et ses voisins, et leur dit: Réjouissez-vous avec moi, car j'ai retrouvé ma brebis qui était perdue.
7 De même, je vous le dis, il y aura plus de joie dans le ciel pour un seul pécheur qui se repent, que pour quatre-vingt-dix-neuf justes qui n'ont pas besoin de repentance.
8 Ou quelle femme, si elle a dix drachmes, et qu'elle en perde une, n'allume une lampe, ne balaie la maison, et ne cherche avec soin, jusqu'à ce qu'elle la retrouve?
9 Lorsqu'elle l'a retrouvée, elle appelle ses amies et ses voisines, et dit: Réjouissez-vous avec moi, car j'ai retrouvé la drachme que j'avais perdue.
10 De même, je vous le dis, il y a de la joie devant les anges de Dieu pour un seul pécheur qui se repent.
11 Il dit encore: Un homme avait deux fils.
12 Le plus jeune dit à son père: Mon père, donne-moi la part de bien qui doit me revenir. Et le père leur partagea son bien.
13 Peu de jours après, le plus jeune fils, ayant tout ramassé, partit pour un pays éloigné, où il dissipa son bien en vivant dans la débauche.
14 Lorsqu'il eut tout dépensé, une grande famine survint dans ce pays, et il commença à se trouver dans le besoin.
15 Il alla se mettre au service d'un des habitants du pays, qui l'envoya dans ses champs garder les pourceaux.
16 Il aurait bien voulu se rassasier des carouges que mangeaient les pourceaux, mais personne ne lui en donnait.
17 Étant rentré en lui-même, il se dit: Combien de mercenaires chez mon père ont du pain en abondance, et moi, ici, je meurs de faim!
18 Je me lèverai, j'irai vers mon père, et je lui dirai: Mon père, j'ai péché contre le ciel et contre toi,
19 je ne suis plus digne d'être appelé ton fils; traite-moi comme l'un de tes mercenaires.
20 Et il se leva, et alla vers son père. Comme il était encore loin, son père le vit et fut ému de compassion, il courut se jeter à son cou et le baisa.
21 Le fils lui dit: Mon père, j'ai péché contre le ciel et contre toi, je ne suis plus digne d'être appelé ton fils.
22 Mais le père dit à ses serviteurs: Apportez vite la plus belle robe, et l'en revêtez; mettez-lui un anneau au doigt, et des souliers aux pieds.
23 Amenez le veau gras, et tuez-le. Mangeons et réjouissons-nous;
24 car mon fils que voici était mort, et il est revenu à la vie; il était perdu, et il est retrouvé. Et ils commencèrent à se réjouir.
25 Or, le fils aîné était dans les champs. Lorsqu'il revint et approcha de la maison, il entendit la musique et les danses.
26 Il appela un des serviteurs, et lui demanda ce que c'était.
27 Ce serviteur lui dit: Ton frère est de retour, et, parce qu'il l'a retrouvé en bonne santé, ton père a tué le veau gras.
28 Il se mit en colère, et ne voulut pas entrer. Son père sortit, et le pria d'entrer.
29 Mais il répondit à son père: Voici, il y a tant d'années que je te sers, sans avoir jamais transgressé tes ordres, et jamais tu ne m'as donné un chevreau pour que je me réjouisse avec mes amis.
30 Et quand ton fils est arrivé, celui qui a mangé ton bien avec des prostituées, c'est pour lui que tu as tué le veau gras!
31 Mon enfant, lui dit le père, tu es toujours avec moi, et tout ce que j'ai est à toi;
32 mais il fallait bien s'égayer et se réjouir, parce que ton frère que voici était mort et qu'il est revenu à la vie, parce qu'il était perdu et qu'il est retrouvé.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)
15 Now the tax collectors(B) and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”(C)
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:(D) 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?(E) 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’(F) 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.(G)
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’(H) 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”(I)
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.(J) 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’(K) So he divided his property(L) between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth(M) in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.(N) 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned(O) against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.(P)
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.(Q) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe(R) and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger(S) and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;(T) he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.(U)
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry(V) and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property(W) with prostitutes(X) comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”(Y)

King James Version
Luke 15
King James Version
15 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 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.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 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.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 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.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 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!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 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.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 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.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 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:
30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)
15 Then (B)all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man [a]receives sinners (C)and eats with them.” 3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
4 (D)“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, (E)‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep (F)which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents (G)than over ninety-nine [b]just persons who (H)need no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver [c]coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them (I)his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with [d]prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the [e]pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, (J)I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’
20 “And he arose and came to his father. But (K)when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven (L)and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, [f]‘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 fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 (M)for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
28 “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’
31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, (N)for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”
