9
And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’
10
In 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
11
Jesus continued:
“There was a man who had two sons.
12
The 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.
14
After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.
15
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
16
He 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!
18
I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19
I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’
