Luke 15:4-14

4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and if he hath lost one of them, whether he leaveth not ninety and nine in desert [and if he shall lose one of them, whether he leave not ninety and nine in desert], and goeth to it that perished, till he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he joyeth, and layeth it on his shoulders; [And when he hath found it, he joying putteth on his shoulders;]
6 and he cometh home, and calleth together his friends and neighbours, and saith to them, Be ye glad with me, for I have found my sheep, that had perished. [+and he coming home calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Glad ye with me, for I have found my sheep, which had perished/for I have found the sheep, that I had lost.]
7 And I say to you, so joy shall be in heaven on one sinful man doing penance, more than on ninety and nine just, that have no need to penance [than of ninety and nine just, that have no need of penance].
8 Or what woman having ten bezants, and if she hath lost one bezant, whether she tendeth not a lantern, and turneth upside-down the house [+Either what woman having ten drachmas, or bezants, and if she shall lose one drachma, whether she lighteth not a lantern, and turneth upside-down the house], and seeketh diligently, till [that] she find it?
9 And when she hath found, she calleth together friends and neighbours, and saith, Be ye glad with me, for I have found the bezant that I had lost [saying, Glad ye with me, for I have found the drachma, which I had lost].
10 So I say to you, joy shall be before the angels of God on [upon] one sinful man doing penance.
11 And he said, A man had two sons [Some man had two sons];
12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of chattel, that falleth to me. And he parted to them the chattel. [+and the younger said to his father, Father, give me the portion of substance, or chattel, that falleth me. And he parted to them the substance.]
13 And not after many days, when all things were gathered together, the younger son went forth in pilgrimage into a far country; and there he wasted his goods in living lecherously [and there he wasted his substance, or goods, in living lecherously].
14 And after that he had ended all things, a strong hunger was made in that country, and he began to have need.
