Het verhaal van het weggelopen schaap
15 Alle belasting-ontvangers en andere slechte mensen[a] kwamen graag naar Jezus toe om naar Hem te luisteren. 2 De Farizeeërs en de wetgeleerden mopperden daarover. Ze zeiden: "Die Man ontvangt slechte mensen en eet met hen."
3 Toen vertelde Jezus hun iets in de vorm van een verhaal. Hij zei: 4 "Stel dat iemand van jullie 100 schapen heeft en hij raakt er één van kwijt. Dan laat hij de 99 overgebleven schapen in de wildernis achter en gaat het weggelopen schaap zoeken. En hij blijft zoeken tot hij het vindt. 5 Als hij het heeft gevonden, tilt hij het blij op zijn schouders. 6 En als hij ermee thuiskomt, roept hij zijn vrienden en buren en zegt tegen hen: 'Kom, ik geef een feest! Want ik heb mijn weggelopen schaap weer terug gevonden.' 7 Ik zeg jullie dat op dezelfde manier de hemel blij zal zijn over één slecht mens die gaat leven zoals God het wil. Ze zullen daar in de hemel blijer over zijn, dan over 99 goede mensen die het niet nodig hebben om te veranderen en weer te gaan leven zoals God het wil."
Het verhaal van de zoekgeraakte munt
8 Jezus zei: "En stel dat een vrouw tien zilveren munten heeft en er één kwijtraakt. Dan zal ze een olielamp aandoen, het hele huis vegen en overal goed zoeken tot ze hem gevonden heeft. 9 Als ze hem heeft gevonden, roept ze haar vriendinnen en buren en zegt tegen hen: 'Kom, ik geef een feest! Want de munt die ik was kwijtgeraakt, heb ik weer gevonden.' 10 Ik zeg jullie dat op dezelfde manier de engelen van God blij zullen zijn over één slecht mens die gaat leven zoals God het wil."
Het verhaal van de twee zonen
11 Verder vertelde Jezus: "Iemand had twee zonen. 12 De jongste van de twee zei tegen zijn vader: 'Vader, geef mij nu alvast het deel van de erfenis dat later voor mij zal zijn.' Toen verdeelde de vader alles wat hij had tussen zijn twee zonen. 13 Een paar dagen later verkocht de jongste zoon zijn deel van de erfenis en ging met het geld naar een ver land. Daar maakte hij zijn geld op door een rijk en lui leventje te leiden.
14 Toen al zijn geld op was, kwam er een zware hongersnood in dat land. Hij begon honger te lijden. 15 Hij ging er op uit en vroeg bij één van de bewoners om werk. Hij mocht zijn varkens hoeden. 16 Hij had zo'n honger, dat hij best van het varkensvoer had willen eten. Maar niemand gaf hem er iets van. 17 Toen ging hij eens goed nadenken. Hij zei bij zichzelf: 'De knechten van mijn vader hebben meer dan genoeg te eten. Maar ik ga hier dood van de honger. 18 Ik zal naar mijn vader gaan. Ik zal tegen hem zeggen: 'Vader, ik heb verkeerd gedaan tegen God en tegen u. 19 Ik ben het niet meer waard om uw zoon te zijn. Mag ik alstublieft als knecht bij u komen werken.' 20 En hij ging naar zijn vader terug.
Toen hij nog ver weg was, zag zijn vader hem aankomen. Hij had medelijden met hem. Hij liep hem snel tegemoet, omhelsde hem en kuste hem. 21 De zoon zei: 'Vader, ik heb verkeerd gedaan tegen God en tegen u. Ik ben het niet meer waard om uw zoon te zijn.' 22 Maar de vader zei tegen zijn dienaren: 'Breng vlug de beste kleren hier en trek hem die aan. Doe een zegelring aan zijn vinger[b] en trek hem schoenen aan. 23 En haal het vetgemeste kalf en slacht het. Want we gaan feestvieren. 24 Want mijn zoon hier was dood en hij is weer levend geworden. Want ik was hem kwijt, maar ik heb hem weer terug!' En ze gingen feestvieren.
25 De oudste zoon had op het land gewerkt. Toen hij vlak bij huis kwam, hoorde hij dat er muziek werd gemaakt en werd gedanst. 26 Hij riep één van zijn knechten en vroeg hem wat er aan de hand was. 27 De knecht zei: 'Uw broer is teruggekomen. Uw vader heeft het vetgemeste kalf laten slachten om te vieren dat hij hem gezond en wel terug heeft.' 28 Toen werd de oudste broer boos en wilde niet naar binnen gaan. Zijn vader kwam naar buiten. Hij drong er bij hem op aan dat hij ook binnen zou komen. 29 Maar hij zei tegen zijn vader: 'Kijk eens, ik werk al jarenlang voor u en ben u nooit ongehoorzaam geweest. Maar u heeft mij nog nooit één geitje gegeven om met mijn vrienden feest te vieren. 30 Maar nu die zoon van u is thuisgekomen die uw geld heeft opgemaakt bij de hoeren, heeft u voor hém het vetgemeste kalf laten slachten!' 31 Maar de vader zei tegen hem: 'Jongen, jij bent altijd bij mij. En alles wat van mij is, is van jou! 32 Maar nu moeten we feestvieren en vrolijk zijn. Want je broer was dood en hij is weer levend geworden. Want ik was hem kwijt, maar ik heb hem weer terug.' "

Maar ook werden ze gehaat omdat ze over het algemeen veel meer belasting vroegen dan waar ze recht op hadden. Daar werden ze zelf rijk van. Lees Lukas 3:12 en 13 en Lukas 19:1-10.

New King James Version
The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)
15 Then (B)all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man [a]receives sinners (C)and eats with them.” 3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
4 (D)“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, (E)‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep (F)which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents (G)than over ninety-nine [b]just persons who (H)need no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver [c]coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them (I)his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with [d]prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then 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 stomach with the [e]pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, (J)I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’
20 “And he arose and came to his father. But (K)when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven (L)and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, [f]‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 (M)for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
28 “But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. 29 So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. 30 But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’
31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, (N)for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”

King James Version
15 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours 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 repenteth.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, 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 would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, 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 hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

15 The parable of the lost sheep. 8 Of the groat, 12 And of the prodigal son.
1 Then [a]resorted unto [b]him [c]all the Publicans and sinners, to hear him.
2 Therefore the Pharisees and Scribes murmured, saying, He receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Then spake he this parable to them, saying,
4 (A)What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders with joy.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me: for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven for one sinner that converteth, more than for ninety and nine just men, which need none amendment of life.
8 Either what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends, and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me: for I have found the groat which I had lost.
10 Likewise I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that converteth.
11 ¶ [d]He said moreover, A certain man had two sons,
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the goods that falleth to me. So he divided unto them his substance.
13 So not many days after, when the younger son had gathered all together, he took his journey into a far country, and there he wasted his goods with riotous living.
14 Now when he had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessity.
15 Then he went and clave to a citizen of that country, and he sent him to his farm, to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine ate: but no man gave them him.
17 [e]Then he came to himself, and said, How many hired servants at my father’s have bread enough, and I die for hunger?
18 I will rise and go to my father, and say unto him, Father, I have sinned against [f]heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thine hired servants.
20 So he arose and came to his father, and when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 [g]And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Then the father said to his servants, 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 the fat calf, and kill him, and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merry.
25 [h]Now the elder brother was in the field, and when he came and drew near to the house, he heard melody, and dancing,
26 And called one of his servants, and asked what those things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fat calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 Then he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
29 But he answered, and said to his father, Lo, these many years have I done thee service, neither brake I at anytime thy commandment, and yet thou never gavest me a kid that I might make merry with my friends.
30 But when this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy goods with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son thou art ever with me, and all that I have, is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again: and he was lost, but he is found.
