And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins,
Faithful the word, and worthy of all acceptance, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save the sinful; of whom I am first.
And his disciples James and John having seen, said, O Lord, wilt thou that we should speak fire to come down from heaven, and destroy them, as also did Elias? And having turned he censured them, and said, Ye know not of what sort Of spirit ye are. For the Son of man came not to destroy men's souls, but to save them. And they proceeded into another town:
For the Son of man has come to save the lost. What does it seem to you? if there be to any man a hundred sheep, and one of them have been led astray, does he not, having left the ninety-nine upon the mountains, having gone, seek the one led astray? And if it be found, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it, than over the ninety-nine not led astray. read more.
So is not the will of your Father, he in the heavens, that one of these little ones be lost.
So is not the will of your Father, he in the heavens, that one of these little ones be lost.
And he spake this parable to them, saying, What man of you, having one hundred. sheep, and having lost one of them, leaves not the ninety-nine in the desert, and goes for the one lost, till he find it And having found, he puts upon his shoulders, rejoicing. read more.
And having come into the house, he calls together friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me: for I have found my lost sheep. I say to you, that so shall joy be in heaven over one sinful repenting, more than over ninety-nine just, which have no need of repentance. Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, lights not a lamp, and sweeps the house, and seeks diligently till she should find? And having found, she calls together female friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I found the drachma which I lost. So, I say to you, joy is in heaven before the messengers of God for one sinful changing the mind. And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of property falling. And he divided to them the property. And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far-off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner. And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want. And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into the fields to feed swine. And he eagerly desired to fill his belly with the fruits of the horntree which the swine ate: and none gave to him. And having come to himself, he said, Many hired of my father abound in loaves, and I am perishing with hunger! Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired. And having risen, he came to his father. And yet being far off, his father saw him, and felt compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I sinned against heaven, and before thee, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son. And the father said to his servants, Bring out the first robe, and clothe him; and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for the feet: And having brought the fatted calf, sacrifice, and eating, let us be gladdened. For this my son was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found. And they began to be gladdened. And his elder son was in the field: and coming, as he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and dances. And having called one of his servants, he inquired what these may be. And he said to him, That thy brother has come, and thy father has sacrificed the fatted calf; because he received him in good health. And he was angry and would not go in; then his father having come out, besought him. And he having answered said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never at any time passed by thy command: and never hast thou given me a kid, that I might be gladdened with my friends. And when this thy son, devouring thy property with harlots, came, thou hast sacrificed for him the fattened calf. And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all mine are thine. And to be gladdened, and to rejoice, was fitting: for this thy brother was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found.
And having come into the house, he calls together friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me: for I have found my lost sheep. I say to you, that so shall joy be in heaven over one sinful repenting, more than over ninety-nine just, which have no need of repentance. Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, lights not a lamp, and sweeps the house, and seeks diligently till she should find? And having found, she calls together female friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I found the drachma which I lost. So, I say to you, joy is in heaven before the messengers of God for one sinful changing the mind. And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of property falling. And he divided to them the property. And not many days after, having gathered all things, the younger son went abroad into a far-off country, and there disposed his property, living in a profligate manner. And having spent all things, a powerful famine was in that country; and he began to be in want. And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into the fields to feed swine. And he eagerly desired to fill his belly with the fruits of the horntree which the swine ate: and none gave to him. And having come to himself, he said, Many hired of my father abound in loaves, and I am perishing with hunger! Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired. And having risen, he came to his father. And yet being far off, his father saw him, and felt compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck, and kissed him. And the son said to him, Father, I sinned against heaven, and before thee, and I am no more worthy to be called thy son. And the father said to his servants, Bring out the first robe, and clothe him; and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for the feet: And having brought the fatted calf, sacrifice, and eating, let us be gladdened. For this my son was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found. And they began to be gladdened. And his elder son was in the field: and coming, as he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and dances. And having called one of his servants, he inquired what these may be. And he said to him, That thy brother has come, and thy father has sacrificed the fatted calf; because he received him in good health. And he was angry and would not go in; then his father having come out, besought him. And he having answered said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never at any time passed by thy command: and never hast thou given me a kid, that I might be gladdened with my friends. And when this thy son, devouring thy property with harlots, came, thou hast sacrificed for him the fattened calf. And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all mine are thine. And to be gladdened, and to rejoice, was fitting: for this thy brother was dead, and has returned to life; and he was lost, and found.
And Jesus said to him, That to day salvation has been to this house, as he is also a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him.
Jesus cried and said, He believing in me, believes not in me, but in him having sent me. And he seeing me, sees him having sent me. I have come a light into the world, that every one believing in me should not remain in darkness. read more.
And if any hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
And if any hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
