[it]? {pieces...: drachma, here translated a piece of silver, is the eighth part of an ounce, which cometh to seven pence halfpenny, and is equal to the Roman penny}

15:9

And
<2532>

when she hath found
<2147> (5631)

[it], she calleth
<4779> (0)

[her] friends
<5384>

and
<2532>

[her] neighbours
<1069>

together
<4779> (5731)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Rejoice
<4796> (5645)

with me
<3427>_;

for
<3754>

I have found
<2147> (5627)

the piece
<1406>

which
<3739>

I had lost
<622> (5656)_.

15:10

Likewise
<3779>_,

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

there is
<1096> (5736)

joy
<5479>

in the presence
<1799>

of the angels
<32>

of God
<2316>

over
<1909>

one
<1520>

sinner
<268>

that repenteth
<3340> (5723)_.

15:11

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

A certain
<5100>

man
<444>

had
<2192> (5707)

two
<1417>

sons
<5207>_:

15:12

And
<2532>

the younger
<3501>

of them
<846>

said
<2036> (5627)

to [his] father
<3962>_,

Father
<3962>_,

give
<1325> (5628)

me
<3427>

the portion
<3313>

of goods
<3776>

that falleth
<1911> (5723)

[to me]. And
<2532>

he divided
<1244> (5627)

unto them
<846>

[his] living
<979>_.

15:13

And
<2532>

not
<3756>

many
<4183>

days
<2250>

after
<3326>

the younger
<3501>

son
<5207>

gathered
<4863> (0)

all
<537>

together
<4863> (5631)_,

and took his journey
<589> (5656)

into
<1519>

a far
<3117>

country
<5561>_,

and
<2532>

there
<1563>

wasted
<1287> (5656)

his
<846>

substance
<3776>

with riotous
<811>

living
<2198> (5723)_.

15:14

And
<1161>

when he
<846>

had spent
<1159> (5660)

all
<3956>_,

there arose
<1096> (5633)

a mighty
<2478>

famine
<3042>

in
<2596>

that
<1565>

land
<5561>_;

and
<2532>

he
<846>

began
<756> (5662)

to be in want
<5302> (5745)_.

15:15

And
<2532>

he went
<4198> (5679)

and joined himself
<2853> (5681)

to
<1520>

a citizen
<4177>

of that
<1565>

country
<5561>_;

and
<2532>

he sent
<3992> (5656)

him
<846>

into
<1519>

his
<846>

fields
<68>

to feed
<1006> (5721)

swine
<5519>_.

15:16

And
<2532>

he would fain
<1937> (5707)

have filled
<1072> (5658)

his
<846>

belly
<2836>

with
<575>

the husks
<2769>

that
<3739>

the swine
<5519>

did eat
<2068> (5707)_:

and
<2532>

no man
<3762>

gave
<1325> (5707)

unto him
<846>_.

15:17

And
<1161>

when he came
<2064> (5631)

to
<1519>

himself
<1438>_,

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

How many
<4214>

hired servants
<3407>

of my
<3450>

father's
<3962>

have bread
<740>

enough and to spare
<4052> (5719)_,

and
<1161>

I
<1473>

perish
<622> (5731)

with hunger
<3042>_!

15:18

I will arise
<450> (5631)

and go
<4198> (5695)

to
<4314>

my
<3450>

father
<3962>_,

and
<2532>

will say
<2046> (5692)

unto him
<846>_,

Father
<3962>_,

I have sinned
<264> (5627)

against
<1519>

heaven
<3772>_,

and
<2532>

before
<1799>

thee
<4675>_,

15:19

And
<2532>

am
<1510> (5748)

no more
<3765>

worthy
<514>

to be called
<2564> (5683)

thy
<4675>

son
<5207>_:

make
<4160> (5657)

me
<3165>

as
<5613>

one
<1520>

of thy
<4675>

hired servants
<3407>_.

15:20

And
<2532>

he arose
<450> (5631)_,

and came
<2064> (5627)

to
<4314>

his
<1438>

father
<3962>_.

But
<1161>

when he
<846>

was yet
<2089>

a great way
<3112>

off
<568> (5723)_,

his
<846>

father
<3962>

saw
<1492> (5627)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

had compassion
<4697> (5675)_,

and
<2532>

ran
<5143> (5631)_,

and fell
<1968> (5627)

on
<1909>

his
<846>

neck
<5137>_,

and
<2532>

kissed
<2705> (5656)

him
<846>_.

15:21

And
<1161>

the son
<5207>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Father
<3962>_,

I have sinned
<264> (5627)

against
<1519>

heaven
<3772>_,

and
<2532>

in
<1799> (0)

thy
<4675>

sight
<1799>_,

and
<2532>

am
<1510> (5748)

no more
<3765>

worthy
<514>

to be called
<2564> (5683)

thy
<4675>

son
<5207>_.

15:22

But
<1161>

the father
<3962>

said
<2036> (5627)

to
<4314>

his
<846>

servants
<1401>_,

Bring forth
<1627> (5657)

the best
<4413>

robe
<4749>_,

and
<2532>

put [it] on
<1746> (5657)

him
<846>_;

and
<2532>

put
<1325> (5628)

a ring
<1146>

on
<1519>

his
<846>

hand
<5495>_,

and
<2532>

shoes
<5266>

on
<1519>

[his] feet
<4228>_:

15:23

And
<2532>

bring hither
<5342> (5660)

the fatted
<4618>

calf
<3448>_,

and kill
<2380> (5657)

[it]; and
<2532>

let us eat
<5315> (5631)_,

and be merry
<2165> (5686)_:

15:24

For
<3754>

this
<3778>

my
<3450>

son
<5207>

was
<2258> (5713)

dead
<3498>_,

and
<2532>

is alive again
<326> (5656)_;

<2532>

he was
<2258> (5713)

lost
<622> (5756)_,

and
<2532>

is found
<2147> (5681)_.

And
<2532>

they began
<756> (5662)

to be merry
<2165> (5745)_.

15:25

Now
<1161>

his
<846>

elder
<4245>

son
<5207>

was
<2258> (5713)

in
<1722>

the field
<68>_:

and
<2532>

as
<5613>

he came
<2064> (5740)

and drew nigh
<1448> (5656)

to the house
<3614>_,

he heard
<191> (5656)

musick
<4858>

and
<2532>

dancing
<5525>_.

15:26

And
<2532>

he called
<4341> (5666)

one
<1520>

of the servants
<3816>_,

and asked
<4441> (5711)

what
<5101>

these things
<5023>

meant
<1498> (5751)_.

15:27

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

<3754>

Thy
<4675>

brother
<80>

is come
<2240> (5719)_;

and
<2532>

thy
<4675>

father
<3962>

hath killed
<2380> (5656)

the fatted
<4618>

calf
<3448>_,

because
<3754>

he hath received
<618> (5627)

him
<846>

safe and sound
<5198> (5723)_.

15:28

And
<1161>

he was angry
<3710> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

would
<2309> (5707)

not
<3756>

go in
<1525> (5629)_:

therefore
<3767>

came
<1831> (0)

his
<846>

father
<3962>

out
<1831> (5631)_,

and intreated
<3870> (5707)

him
<846>_.

15:29

And
<1161>

he answering
<611> (5679)

said
<2036> (5627)

to [his] father
<3962>_,

Lo
<2400> (5628)_,

these many
<5118>

years
<2094>

do I serve
<1398> (5719)

thee
<4671>_,

neither
<3763> (0)

transgressed I
<3928> (5627)

at any time
<3763>

thy
<4675>

commandment
<1785>_:

and
<2532>

yet
<2532>

thou
<1325> (0)

never
<3763>

gavest
<1325> (5656)

me
<1698>

a kid
<2056>_,

that
<2443>

I might make merry
<2165> (5686)

with
<3326>

my
<3450>

friends
<5384>_:

15:30

But
<1161>

as soon as
<3753>

this
<3778>

thy
<4675>

son
<5207>

was come
<2064> (5627)_,

which
<3588>

hath devoured
<2719> (5631)

thy
<4675>

living
<979>

with
<3326>

harlots
<4204>_,

thou hast killed
<2380> (5656)

for him
<846>

the fatted
<4618>

calf
<3448>_.

15:31

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Son
<5043>_,

thou
<4771>

art
<1488> (5748)

ever
<3842>

with
<3326>

me
<1700>_,

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

that I have
<1699>

is
<2076> (5748)

thine
<4674>_.

15:32

It was
<1161>

meet
<1163> (5713)

that we should make merry
<2165> (5683)_,

and
<2532>

be glad
<5463> (5646)_:

for
<3754>

this
<3778>

thy
<4675>

brother
<80>

was
<2258> (5713)

dead
<3498>_,

and
<2532>

is alive again
<326> (5656)_;

and
<2532>

was
<2258> (5713)

lost
<622> (5756)_,

and
<2532>

is found
<2147> (5681)_.

16:1

And
<1161>

he said
<3004> (5707)

also
<2532>

unto
<4314>

his
<846>

disciples
<3101>_,

There was
<2258> (5713)

a certain
<5100>

rich
<4145>

man
<444>_,

which
<3739>

had
<2192> (5707)

a steward
<3623>_;

and
<2532>

the same
<3778>

was accused
<1225> (5681)

unto him
<846>

that
<5613>

he had wasted
<1287> (5723)

his
<846>

goods
<5224> (5723)_.

16:2

And
<2532>

he called
<5455> (5660)

him
<846>_,

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

How
<5101>

is it that I hear
<191> (5719)

this
<5124>

of
<4012>

thee
<4675>_?

give
<591> (5628)

an account
<3056>

of thy
<4675>

stewardship
<3622>_;

for
<1063>

thou mayest be
<1410> (5695)

no
<3756>

longer
<2089>

steward
<3621> (5721)_.

16:3

Then
<1161>

the steward
<3623>

said
<2036> (5627)

within
<1722>

himself
<1438>_,

What
<5101>

shall I do
<4160> (5661)_?

for
<3754>

my
<3450>

lord
<2962>

taketh away
<851> (5731)

from
<575>

me
<1700>

the stewardship
<3622>_:

I cannot
<3756> <2480> (5719)

dig
<4626> (5721)_;

to beg
<1871> (5721)

I am ashamed
<153> (5727)_.

16:4

I am resolved
<1097> (5627)

what
<5101>

to do
<4160> (5692)_,

that
<2443>_,

when
<3752>

I am put out
<3179> (5686)

of the stewardship
<3622>_,

they may receive
<1209> (5667)

me
<3165>

into
<1519>

their
<846>

houses
<3624>_.

16:5

So
<2532>

he called
<4341> (5666)

every
<1538>

one
<1520>

of his
<1438>

lord's
<2962>

debtors
<5533>

[unto him], and said
<3004> (5707)

unto the first
<4413>_,

How much
<4214>

owest thou
<3784> (5719)

unto my
<3450>

lord
<2962>_?

16:6

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

An hundred
<1540>

measures
<943>

of oil
<1637>_.

And
<2532>

he said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Take
<1209> (5663)

thy
<4675>

bill
<1121>_,

and
<2532>

sit down
<2523> (5660)

quickly
<5030>_,

and write
<1125> (5657)

fifty
<4004>_.

{measures: the word Batus in the original containeth nine gallons three quarts}

16:7

Then
<1899>

said he
<2036> (5627)

to another
<2087>_,

And
<1161>

how much
<4214>

owest
<3784> (5719)

thou
<4771>_?

And
<1161>

he said
<2036> (5627)_,

An hundred
<1540>

measures
<2884>

of wheat
<4621>_.

And
<2532>

he said
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

Take
<1209> (5663)

thy
<4675>

bill
<1121>_,

and
<2532>

write
<1125> (5657)

fourscore
<3589>_.

{measures: the word here interpreted a measure in the original containeth about fourteen bushels and two quarts}

16:8

And
<2532>

the lord
<2962>

commended
<1867> (5656)

the unjust
<93>

steward
<3623>_,

because
<3754>

he had done
<4160> (5656)

wisely
<5430>_:

for
<3754>

the children
<5207>

of this
<5127>

world
<165>

are
<1526> (5748)

in
<1519>

their
<1438>

generation
<1074>

wiser
<5429>

than
<5228>

the children
<5207>

of light
<5457>_.

16:9

And I
<2504>

say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

Make
<4160> (5657)

to yourselves
<1438>

friends
<5384>

of
<1537>

the mammon
<3126>

of unrighteousness
<93>_;

that
<2443>_,

when
<3752>

ye fail
<1587> (5632)_,

they may receive
<1209> (5667)

you
<5209>

into
<1519>

everlasting
<166>

habitations
<4633>_.

{mammon: or, riches}

16:10

He that is faithful
<4103>

in
<1722>

that which is least
<1646>

is
<2076> (5748)

faithful
<4103>

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

much
<4183>_:

and
<2532>

he that is unjust
<94>

in
<1722>

the least
<1646>

is
<2076> (5748)

unjust
<94>

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

much
<4183>_.

16:11

If
<1487>

therefore
<3767>

ye have
<1096> (0)

not
<3756>

been
<1096> (5633)

faithful
<4103>

in
<1722>

the unrighteous
<94>

mammon
<3126>_,

who
<5101>

will commit
<4100> (0)

to your
<5213>

trust
<4100> (5692)

the true
<228>

[riches]? {mammon: or, riches}

16:12

And
<2532>

if
<1487>

ye have
<1096> (0)

not
<3756>

been
<1096> (5633)

faithful
<4103>

in
<1722>

that which is another man's
<245>_,

who
<5101>

shall give
<1325> (5692)

you
<5213>

that which is your own
<5212>_?

16:13

No
<3762>

servant
<3610>

can
<1410> (5736)

serve
<1398> (5721)

two
<1417>

masters
<2962>_:

for
<1063>

either
