The Lost Sheep

(Mat 18:10–14 )
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:1 - And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:2 - and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:3 - And he spoke to them this parable, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:4 - What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:5 - and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:6 - and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:7 - I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, more than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.

The Lost Coin

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:18 - I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:19 - I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:20 - And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:23 - and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 15:24 - for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.

DBY

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
