have bought a piece of property, and I must go and see it: I
ask you have me excused.
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I
go to try them out: I ask you have me excused.
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
cannot come. 4916
21 So that eved came, and showed His Master these things.
Then the Master of the bayit being angry said to his eved, Go
out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in
here the poor, and the crippled, the lame, and the blind. 4917
22 And the eved said, Master, it is done as you have
commanded, and yet there is still room.
23 And the Master said to the eved, Go out into the highways
and hedges, and compel them to come in, that My bayit may
be filled. 4918
24 For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited
shall taste of My supper. 4919
25 And there went great multitudes with Him: and He turned,
and said to them,
26 If any man comes to Me, and does not put aside his abba,
and eema, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters,
yes, and his own chayim also, he cannot be My talmid. 4920
27 And whoever does not bear his execution stake, and come
after Me, cannot be My talmid.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sits not
down first, and counts the cost, whether he has sufficient
supplies to finish it?
29 Otherwise, after he has laid the foundation, and is not
able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to
finish. 4921
31 Or, what melech, going to make war against another
melech, sits not down first, and consults whether he is
able with ten thousand to meet him that is coming against
him with twenty thousand?
32 If not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a
delegation, and desires conditions of shalom.
33 So likewise, any of you that forsakes not all that he
has, he cannot be My talmid.
34 Salt is tov: but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what
shall it be seasoned? 4922
35 It is neither fit for the land, 4923 nor yet for the
dunghill; but men 4924 cast it out. He that has ears to
hear let him hear.
15
Then drew near to Him all the tax collectors and
sinners to hear Him.
2 And the Prushim and Sophrim grumbled, saying, This
Man receives sinners, and eats with them.
3 And He spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 What man among you, having a hundred sheep, if he
loses one of them, does not leave the ninety nine in the
wilderness, and goes after that which is lost, until he finds
it? 4925
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders,
rejoicing. 4926
6 And when he is coming home, he calls together his
chaverim and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me;
for I have found My sheep that was lost.
7 I say to you, That likewise simcha shall be in the
shamayim over one sinner that repents, more than over
ninety-nine tzadikim, who need no teshuvah.
8 Or, what woman having ten pieces of silver, 4927 if she

loses one piece, does not light a candle, and sweep the
bayit, 4928 and seek diligently until she finds it? 4929
9 And when she has found it, she calls her chaverim and
her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I
have found the piece that I had lost. 4930
10 Likewise, I say to you, There is simcha in the presence
of the heavenly malachim of vuvh over one sinner that
repents.
11 And He said, A certain man had two sons: 4931
12 And the younger of them said to his abba, Abba, give
me the portion of goods that belongs to me. And he
divided to them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all
things together, and took his journey into a far country,
4932 and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty
famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that
country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he was longing to fill his belly with the pods that
the swine did eat: and no man gave to him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many
hired avadim of my abba’s have lechem enough and to
spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my abba, and will say to him,
Abba, I have sinned against the shamayim, and before
you,
19 And am no more worthy to be called your son: make
me as one of your hired avadim. 4933
20 And he arose, and came to his abba. But when he was
yet a great way off, his abba saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed
him. 4934
21 And the son said to him, Abba, I have sinned against
the shamayim, and in Your sight, and am no more worthy
to be called Your son.
22 But the abba said to his avadim, Bring forth the best
robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and
shoes on his feet:
23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us
eat, and celebrate:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was
lost, and is found. And they began to celebrate. 4935
25 Now his elder son 4936 was in the field: and as he came
and drew near to the bayit, he heard music and dancing.
26 And he called one of the avadim, and asked what these
things meant. 4937
27 And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your
abba has killed the fatted calf, because he has received
him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his
abba came out, and pleaded with him. 4938
29 And he answering said to his abba, See, these many
years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time
your commandment: 4939 and yet you never gave me a
goat, that I might celebrate with my chaverim:
30 But as soon as this your son 4940 has come, who has
devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him
the fatted calf.
31 And he said to him, Son, you are always with Me, and
