9 And when she finds it, she will call her friends and neighbors together. She will say, 'Be joyful with me. I have found my lost coin.'
10 "I tell you, it is the same in heaven. There is joy in heaven over one sinner who turns away from sin."
11 Jesus continued, "There was a man who had two sons.
12 The younger son spoke to his father. He said, 'Father, give me my share of the family property.' So the father divided his property between his two sons.
13 "Not long after that, the younger son packed up all he had. Then he left for a country far away. There he wasted his money on wild living.
14 He spent everything he had. "Then the whole country ran low on food. So the son didn't have what he needed.
15 He went to work for someone who lived in that country, who sent him to the fields to feed the pigs.
