8. Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loses one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she finds it?
9. And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
11. And he said,
12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13. And not many days later the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14. And when he had spent everything, there arose a great 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 would gladly have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
