路加福音 15:1-32

迷失的羊

1許多稅吏和罪人都來聽耶穌講道, 2法利賽人和律法教師埋怨說:「這個人竟和罪人來往,還跟他們一起吃飯。」

3耶穌給他們講了一個比喻: 4「如果你們有人有一百隻羊,走失了一隻,難道他不暫時把那九十九隻留在草場上,去找那隻迷失的羊,一直到找著為止嗎? 5他找到後,會歡歡喜喜地把那隻羊扛回家, 6並邀來朋友鄰居,說,『我走失的羊找到了,來和我一同慶祝吧!』 7我告訴你們,同樣,一個罪人悔改,在天上也要這樣為他歡喜,甚至比有九十九個不用悔改的義人還歡喜。

丟錢的比喻

8「又比如一個婦人有十塊錢,不小心弄丟了一塊,難道她不點亮燈,打掃房子,仔細尋找一直到找著為止嗎? 9她找到後,會邀朋友鄰居來,說,『我丟的錢找到了,來和我一同慶祝吧!』 10我告訴你們,同樣,一個罪人悔改,上帝的眾天使也會這樣為他歡喜。」

浪子回頭

11耶穌又說:「某人有兩個兒子。 12小兒子對父親說,『父親,請你把我應得的家產分給我。』父親就把財產分給了兩個兒子。

13「沒過幾天,小兒子帶著他所有的財物出門遠遊去了。他終日在外花天酒地,揮金如土, 14很快囊空如洗,又遇到嚴重的饑荒,就陷入困境, 15只好投靠一個當地人。那人派他到田裡去放豬, 16他餓到恨不得拿餵豬的豆莢充饑,可是連這些也沒有人給他。 17最後,他醒悟過來,心想,『在我父親家裡,連僱工的口糧都綽綽有餘,我現在卻要在這裡餓死嗎? 18我要動身回到我父親身邊,對他說,父親,我得罪了天,也得罪了你, 19今後,我再也不配作你的兒子,請把我當作僱工看待吧。』 20於是他動身回家。

「他父親遠遠地看見他,就動了慈心,跑上前去抱著他連連親吻。 21小兒子說,『父親,我得罪了天,也得罪了你,今後,我再也不配作你的兒子。』

22「父親卻對奴僕說,『趕快拿最好的袍子來給他穿上,給他戴上戒指,穿上鞋, 23把那隻肥牛犢牽來宰了,讓我們一同歡宴慶祝! 24因我這兒子是死而復活、失而復得的。』於是他們歡宴慶祝。

25「那時,大兒子正在田間。當他回來還沒到門口,就聽見家裡傳出奏樂跳舞的聲音。 26他叫來一個奴僕問個究竟。

27「奴僕回答說,『你弟弟回來了!你父親因他無災無難地回來,特地宰了那隻肥牛犢。』 28大兒子很生氣,不肯進去。父親就出來勸他。

29「他對父親說,『你看,我伺候你這麼多年,從來沒有違背過你的命令,可是你沒有給過我一隻羊羔,讓我和朋友一同歡宴。 30但你這個兒子在娼妓身上耗盡家財,一回來,你倒為他宰了肥牛犢!』

31「父親對他說,『孩子啊!你一直在我身邊,我所有的一切都是你的。 32可是你弟弟是死而復活、失而復得的,所以我們應該歡喜快樂。』」

Luke 15:1-32

The parable of the lost sheep

1Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering round to hear Jesus. 2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, ‘This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.’

3Then Jesus told them this parable: 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? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent.

The parable of the lost coin

8‘Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins15:8 Greek ten drachmas, each worth about a day’s wages and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbours together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.” 10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’

The parable of the lost son

11Jesus continued: ‘There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, “Father, give me my share of the estate.” So he divided his property 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 in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He 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! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.” 20So 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 round him and kissed him.

21‘The son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.”

22‘But the father said to his servants, “Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” So they began to celebrate.

25‘Meanwhile, the elder son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So 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 elder brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But 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. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes 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. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” ’
