He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.

But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.

But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.'"

He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."

As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
