Luke Chapter 15, Verse 11
From BibleWiki
11: ειπεν δε ανθρωπος τις ειχεν δυο υιους
11: And he said, A certain man had two sons:
11: And he said: A certain man had two sons.
And he said. Jesus, to illustrate still farther the sentiment which
he had uttered, and to show that it was proper to rejoice over repenting
sinners, proceeds to show it by a most beautiful and instructive
parable. We shall see its beauty and propriety by remembering that
the design of it was simply to justify his conduct in receiving
sinners, and to show that to rejoice over their return was proper. This
he shows by the feelings of a father rejoicing over the return
of an ungrateful and dissipated son.
