[Jedermann]

Luke 15:23 and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:24 for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:25 “Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:26 And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:28 But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:29 But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:30 but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 15:32 But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.’”

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:1 Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:2 And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:3 The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:5 And he summoned each one of his master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:6 And he said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He *said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:8 And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.

 

[Jedermann]

Luke 16:9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
