1 ησαν δε εγγιζοντες αυτω παντες οι τελωναι και [οι] αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου. 2 και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις λεγοντες οτι ουτος αμαρτωλους προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοις. 3 ειπεν δε προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων· 4 τις ανθρωπος εξ υμων εχων εκατον προβατα, και απολεσας εν εξ αυτων, ου καταλειπει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα εν τη ερημω και πορευεται επι το απολωλος εως ου ευρη αυτο; 5 και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τους ωμους αυτου χαιρων, 6 και ελθων εις τον οικον συγκαλει τους φιλους και τους γειτονας λεγων αυτοις· συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλος. 7 λεγω υμιν οτι ουτως χαρα εσται εν τω ουρανω επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι η επι ενενηκοντα εννεα δικαιοις, οιτινες ου χρειαν εχουσιν μετανοιας. 8 η τις γυνη δραχμας εχουσα δεκα, εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν, ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελως εως οτου ευρη; 9 και ευρουσα συγκαλει τας φιλας και τας γειτονας λεγουσα· συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα. 10 ουτως, λεγω υμιν, χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι. 11 ειπεν δε· ανθρωπος τις ειχεν δυο υιους. 12 και ειπεν ο νεωτερος αυτων τω πατρι· πατερ, δος μοι το επιβαλλον μερος της ουσιας. και διειλεν αυτοις τον βιον. 13 και μετ ου πολλας ημερας συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτερος υιος απεδημησεν εις χωραν μακραν, και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτως. 14 δαπανησαντος δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμος ισχυρος κατα την χωραν εκεινην, και αυτος ηρξατο υστερεισθαι. 15 και πορευθεις εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων της χωρας εκεινης, και επεμψεν αυτον εις τους αγρους αυτου βοσκειν χοιρους. 16 και επεθυμει γεμισαι την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των κερατιων ων ησθιον οι χοιροι, και ουδεις εδιδου αυτω. 17 εις εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν· ποσοι μισθιοι του πατρος μου περισσευουσιν αρτων, εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι! 18 αναστας πορευσομαι προς τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω· πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου· 19 ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου· ποιησον με ως ενα των μισθιων σου. 20 και αναστας ηλθεν προς τον πατερα αυτου. ετι δε αυτου μακραν απεχοντος ειδεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και εσπλαγχνισθη, και δραμων επεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον. 21 ειπεν δε αυτω ο υιος· πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου, και ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου. 22 ειπεν δε ο πατηρ προς τους δουλους αυτου· εξενεγκατε την στολην την πρωτην και ενδυσατε αυτον, και δοτε δακτυλιον εις την χειρα αυτου και υποδηματα εις τους ποδας, 23 και ενεγκαντες τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε, και φαγοντες ευφρανθωμεν, 24 οτι ουτος ο υιος μου νεκρος ην και ανεζησεν, και απολωλως ην και ευρεθη. και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι. 25 ην δε ο υιος αυτου ο πρεσβυτερος εν αγρω· και ως ερχομενος ηγγισεν τη οικια, ηκουσεν συμφωνιας και χορων, 26 και προσκαλεσαμενος ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα. 27 ο δε ειπεν αυτω οτι ο αδελφος σου ηκει και εθυσεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον, οτι υγιαινοντα αυτον απελαβεν. 28 ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν. ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον. 29 ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν τω πατρι· ιδου τοσαυτα ετη δουλευω σοι και ουδεποτε εντολην σου παρηλθον, και εμοι ουδεποτε εδωκας εριφον ινα μετα των φιλων μου ευφρανθω· 30 οτε δε ο υιος σου ουτος, ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων, ηλθεν, εθυσας αυτω τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον. 31 ο δε ειπεν αυτω· τεκνον, συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει, και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν· 32 ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει, οτι ο αδελφος σου ουτος νεκρος ην και ανεζησεν, και απολωλως ην και ευρεθη.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 15:8 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters XVI–XVII)

    In the same way they oracularly declare, that one power having departed also from the Duodecad, has perished; and this was represented by the woman who lost the drachma, and, lighting a lamp, again found it.

  2. Quotes verse 15:16 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book III, Chapters V–VII)

    Far, indeed, was I wandering away from Thee, being even shut out from the very husks of the swine, whom with husks I fed. For how much better, then, are the fables of the grammarians and poets than these snares!

  3. Quotes verse 15:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LIX)

    But Luke saith, that He even brought it on his shoulders, and that "There was greater joy over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons." And from His forsaking those that were saved for it, and from His taking more pleasure in this one, He showed His earnestness about it to be great.

  4. Quotes verse 15:7 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (First Catechetical Lecture)

    … Christ, as yet by calling only, but ere long by grace also, make you a new heart and a new spirit, that there may be gladness among the inhabitants of heaven: for if over one sinner that repenteth there is joy, according to the Gospel, how much more shall the salvation of so many souls move the inhabitants of …

  5. Quotes verse 15:4–10 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII, Chapters III–V)

    … no repentance." And with much joyfulness do we hear, whenever we hear, how the lost sheep is brought home again on the Shepherd's shoulders, while the angels rejoice, and the drachma is restored to Thy treasury, the neighhours rejoicing with the woman who found it; and the joy of the solemn service of Thy house constraineth to tears, when in …
