Tree Of Life Version

Luke 15:3-12 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

3. So He told this parable to them, saying,

4. “Which man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?

5. When he has found it, he puts it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says, ‘Rejoice with me, for I’ve found my sheep that was lost!’

7. I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one repenting sinner than over the ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.”

8. “Or which woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?

9. When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I’ve found the coin I had lost!’

10. In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

11. Then Yeshua said, “A certain man had two sons,

12. and the younger of them said to the father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.’ So he divided his wealth between them.
