Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

2The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."
3He told them this parable.
4"Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn`t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!`
7I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma, wouldn`t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.`
10Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
11He said, "A certain man had two sons.
