No band or conjunction is so strait that should stay us
From :
The Geneva Bible
New Testament ,
The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To Luke Chapter 17
1 Offences.
3 We must forgive him that trespasseth against us.
10 We are unprofitable servants.
11 Of ten lepers.
20 Of the coming of the kingdom of heaven.
33 False Christ's.
36 After what manner Christ's coming shall be.
1 Then said he to his disciples, (*) (1) It
cannot be avoided, but that offences will come,
but woe be to him by whom they come.
(*) Matthew 18:7; Mark 9:42 .
(1) The Church is of necessity subject to
offences, but the Lord will not suffer them
unpunished, if any of the least be offended.
2 It is better for him that a great millstone
were hanged about his neck, and that he were
cast into the sea, than that he should (*)
offend one of these little ones.
(*) That is, to turn him back from the
knowledge of God, and his salvation.
3 ¶ (2) Take heed to yourselves; if thy brother
trespass against thee, rebuke him, and if he
repent, forgive him.
(2) Our reprehensions must be just, and
proceed of love and charity.
4 (*) And though he sin against thee () seven
times in a day, and seven times in a day turn
again to thee, saying, It repenteth me, thou
shalt forgive him.
(*) Matthew 18:21 .
() That is, many times; for by a certain number
he meaneth an uncertain.
5 ¶ (3) And the Apostles said unto the Lord,
Increase our faith.
(3) God will never be utterly lacking to the
Godly (although he be not so perfectly with
them, as they would) even in those difficulties,
which cannot be overcome by man's reason.
6 And the Lord said, (*) If ye had faith, as
much as is (a) () a grain of mustard seed, and
should say unto this mulberry tree, () Pluck
thyself up by the roots, and plant thyself in
the sea, it should even obey you.
(*) Matthew 17:20 .
(a) If you had no more faith, but the quantity
of the grain of mustard seed.
() That is, if they had never so little of pure
and perfect faith.
() Meaning, they should do wonderful and
incredible things.
7 ¶ (4) Who is it also of you, that having a
servant plowing or feeding cattle, would say
unto him by and by, when he were come from
the field, Go, and sit down at table?
(4) Seeing that God may challenge unto himself
of right, both us and all that is ours, he can be
debtor unto us for nothing, although we labor
manfully even unto death.
8 And would not rather say to him, (*) Dress
wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and
serve me, till I have eaten and drunken, and
afterward eat thou, and drink thou?
(*) Hereby is declared that it is not enough to
do a piece of our duty for a time, but also we
must continue to the end.
9 Doeth he thank that servant, because he did
that which was commanded unto him? I trow
not.
10 (5) So likewise ye, when ye have done all
those things, which are commanded you, say,
We are (*) unprofitable servants; we have
done that which was our duty to do.
(5) The most perfect keeping of the Law,
which we can perform, deserved no reward.
(*) For God receiveth nothing of us, whereby
he should stand bound unto us.
11 ¶ (6) And so it was when he went to
Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of
Samaria, and Galilee.
(6) Christ doeth well even unto such, as will be
unthankful, but the benefits of God profit them
only to salvation, which are thankful.
12 And as he entered into a certain town,
there met him ten men that were lepers, which
stood afar off.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said,
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them,
(*) Go, shew yourselves unto the () Priests.
And it came to pass, that as they went, they
were cleansed.
(*) Leviticus 14:2 .
() To whom it did appertain to judge of the
leprosy, Leviticus 14:2; and hereby also the
Priests should have no occasion to grudge or
murmur.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he
was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice
praised God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, and
gave him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answered, and said, Are there
not ten cleansed? But where are the (*) nine?
(*) He noteth hereby their ingratitude, and that
the greatest part neglect the benefits of God.
18 There is none found that returned to give
God praise, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way,
thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 ¶ (7) And when he was demanded of the
Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come, he answered them, and said, The
kingdom of God cometh not (*) with (b)
observation.
(7) The kingdom of God is not marked of
many, although it be most present before their
eyes; because they fondly persuade
themselves, that it is joined with outward
pomp.
(*) It cannot be discerned by any outward
shew, or majesty, whereby it might the rather
be known.
(b) With any outward pomp and shew of
majesty, to be known by; for there were
otherwise many plain and evident tokens
whereby men might have understood, that
Christ was the Messiah, whose kingdom was
so long looked for; but he speaketh in this
place of those signs which the Pharisees
dreamed of, which looked for an earthly
kingdom of Messiah.
21 Neither shall men say, Lo here, or lo there;
for behold, the kingdom of God is (*) () (c)
within you.
(*) Or, among you.
() Either by reason of the word of God, which
is received by faith, or that the Messiah, whom
they sought, as absent, is now present even
within their own doors, and yet they know him
not, John 1:11 .
(c) You look about for Messiah as though he
were absent, but he is amongst you in the
midst of you.
22 (8) And he said unto the disciples, The
days will come, when ye shall desire to
see (d) (*) one of the days of the Son of man,
and ye shall not see it.
(8) We oftentimes neglect those things when
they be present, which we afterward desire
when they are gone, but in vain.
(d) The time will come that you shall seek for
the Son of man, with great sorrow of heart,
and shall not find him.
(*) He speaketh of his first coming into the
world.
23 (*) (9) Then they shall say to you, Behold
here, or behold there; but go not thither,
neither follow them.
(*) Matthew 24:23; Mark 13:21 .
(9) Christ forewarneth us that false Christ's
shall come, and that his glory shall suddenly be
spread far and wide through the world, after
the ignominy of the cross is put out and
extinguished.
24 For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the
one part under heaven, shineth unto the other
part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be
in his (*) day.
(*) Meaning his second coming, wherein he
shall appear in glory.
25 But first must he suffer many things and be
reproved of this generation.
26 (*) (10) And as it was in the () days of
Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of
man.
(*) Genesis 7:5; Matthew 24:38; 1 Peter 3:20 .
(10) The world shall be taken unawares with
the sudden judgment of God; and therefore the
faithful ought to watch continually.
() When men contemned the judgment of God,
wherewith they were before menaced.
27 They ate, they drank, they married wives,
and gave in marriage unto the day that Noah
went into the Ark, and the flood came, and
destroyed them all.
28 (*) Likewise also as it was in the days of
Lot; They ate, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they built.
(*) Genesis 19:24 .
29 But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom,
it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all.
30 After these examples shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed.
31 (11) At that day he that is upon the (*)
house, and his stuff in the house, let him not
come down to take it out; and he that is in the
field likewise, let him not turn back to that he
left behind.
(11) We must take good heed that neither
distrust, nor the enticements of this world, nor
any respect of friendship hinder us the least
that may be.
(*) We must forget that which we have left
behind us, to the end, that we may the better
follow to heavenly vocation.
32 (*) Remember Lot's wife.
(*) Genesis 19:26 .
33 (*) Whosoever will seek to save his soul,
shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose it, ()
shall (e) get it life.
(*) Luke 9:24; Luke 16:25; Matthew 10:39;
Mark 8:35; John 12:25 .
() This corporal death shall engender life
everlasting.
(e) That is, shall save it, so Matthew
expoundeth it; for the life that is here spoken
of, is everlasting salvation.
34 (*) I tell you, in that night there shall be
two in one () bed; the one shall be received,
and the other shall be left.
(*) Matthew 24:41 .
() He meaneth that no band or conjunction is
so strait that should stay us.
35 Two women shall be grinding together, the
one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
36 Two shall be in the field; one shall be
received, and another shall be left.
37 (12) And they answered, and said to him,
Where, Lord? And he said unto them, (*) ()
Wheresoever the body is, thither shall also the
eagles be gathered together.
(12) The only way to continue is to cleave to
Christ.
(*) Matthew 24:28 .
() Nothing can hinder the faithful to be joined
to their head Jesus Christ; for they shall gather
unto him, as the ravening birds about a carian.

As faith cometh by God's word, so is it maintained by the same
From :
The Geneva Bible
New Testament ,
The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To Luke Chapter 16
1 The parable of the steward accused to his master.
13 To serve two masters.
16 The Law and the Prophets.
19 Of Lives and Lazarus.
1 And he said also unto his disciples, (1) (*) There
was a certain rich man, which had a steward, and
he was accused unto him, that he wasted his
goods.
(1) Seeing that men oftentimes purchase
friendship to themselves, by other men's costs, it
is a shame for us, if with a free and liberal
bestowing of the goods which the Lord hath given
us to that purpose, we do not please him, nor
procure the good will of our neighbors, seeing that
by this only means, riches, which are oftentimes
occasions of sin, are turned to another end and
purpose.
(*) Christ teacheth hereby, that likewise as he
which is in authority and hath riches, if he get
friends in his prosperity, may be relieved in his
adversity; so our liberality towards our neighbor
shall stand us in such stead at the day of judgment
that God will accept it as done unto him.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it
that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy
stewardship, for thou mayest be no longer
steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What
shall I do? For my master taketh away from me
the stewardship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am
ashamed.
4 I know what I will do, that when I am put out
of the stewardship, they may receive me into their
houses.
5 Then called he unto him every one of his
master's debtors, and said unto the first, How
much owest thou unto my master?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he
said to him, Take thy writing, and sit down quickly,
and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, How much owest thou?
And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. Then
he said to him, Take thy writing and write
fourscore.
8 And the Lord commended (*) the (a) unjust
steward, because he had done wisely. Wherefore
the (b) children of this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of light.
(*) God, who doeth here represent the master of
the house, doeth rather commend the prodigal
waste of his goods, and the liberal giving of the
same to the poor, than the strait keeping and
hording of them.
(a) This parable doth not approve the steward's
naughty dealing, for it was very theft; but parables
are set forth, to shew a thing in a covertly, and as
it were, under a figure to represent the truth,
though it agree not thoroughly with the matter
itself; so that Christ meaneth by this parable to
teach us, that worldly men are more heady in the
affairs of this world, than the children of God are
careful for everlasting life.
(b) Men that are given to this present life,
contrary to whom the children of light are set;
Paul calleth those spiritual, and the other carnal.
9 And I say unto you, Make you friends (*) with
the riches (c) of iniquity, that when ye shall
want, they may receive you into everlasting (d)
habitations.
(*) That is, either wickedly gotten or wickedly
kept, or wickedly spent; and hereby we be
warned to suspect riches which for the most part
are an occasion to their possessors of great
wickedness.
(c) This is not spoken of goods that are evil
gotten, for God will have our bountifulness to the
poor, proceed and come from a good fountain,
but he calleth those riches of iniquity, which men
use naughtily.
(d) To wit, the poor Christians; for they are the
inheritors of these Tabernacles, Theophylact.
10 (2) He that is faithful in the least, he is also
faithful in much; and he that is unjust in the least,
is unjust also in much.
(2) We ought to take heed that for abusing our
earthly function and duty, we be not deprived of
heavenly gifts; for how can they use spiritual gifts
aright, who abuse worldly things?
11 If then ye have not been faithful in (*) the
wicked riches, who will trust you in the (e) true
treasure?
(*) They which can not well bestow our worldly
goods, will bestow evil spiritual treasures and
therefore they ought not to be committed unto
them.
(e) That is, heavenly and true riches; which are
contrary to worldly and flitting substance.
12 And if ye have not been faithful in (f) (*)
another man's goods, who shall give you that
which is () yours?
(f) In worldly goods, which are called other
men's, because they are committed to our credit.
(*) As are riches and such like things, which God
hath given not for ourselves only, but to bestow
upon others.
() Christ calleth the gifts which he giveth unto us,
ours.
13 (*) (3) No servant can serve two masters; for
either he shall hate the one, and love the other, or
else he shall lean to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.
(*) Matthew 6:24 .
(3) No man can love God and riches together.
14 All these things heard the Pharisees also which
were covetous, and they (*) scoffed at him.
(*) Because they judged no man happy, but those
that were rich.
15 (4) Then he said unto them, Ye are they, which
(*) justify yourselves before men, but God
knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly
esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight
of God.
(4) Our sins are not hidden to God, although they
be hidden to men, yea although they be hidden to
them whose sins they are.
(*) Which love outward appearance, and vain
glory.

The Geneva Bible
New Testament ,
The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To Luke Chapter 16
1 The parable of the steward accused to his master.
13 To serve two masters.
16 The Law and the Prophets.
19 Of Lives and Lazarus.
1 And he said also unto his disciples, (1) (*) There
was a certain rich man, which had a steward, and
he was accused unto him, that he wasted his
goods.
(1) Seeing that men oftentimes purchase
friendship to themselves, by other men's costs, it
is a shame for us, if with a free and liberal
bestowing of the goods which the Lord hath given
us to that purpose, we do not please him, nor
procure the good will of our neighbors, seeing that
by this only means, riches, which are oftentimes
occasions of sin, are turned to another end and
purpose.
(*) Christ teacheth hereby, that likewise as he
which is in authority and hath riches, if he get
friends in his prosperity, may be relieved in his
adversity; so our liberality towards our neighbor
shall stand us in such stead at the day of judgment
that God will accept it as done unto him.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it
that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy
stewardship, for thou mayest be no longer
steward.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What
shall I do? For my master taketh away from me
the stewardship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am
ashamed.
4 I know what I will do, that when I am put out
of the stewardship, they may receive me into their
houses.
5 Then called he unto him every one of his
master's debtors, and said unto the first, How
much owest thou unto my master?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he
said to him, Take thy writing, and sit down quickly,
and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, How much owest thou?
And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. Then
he said to him, Take thy writing and write
fourscore.
8 And the Lord commended (*) the (a) unjust
steward, because he had done wisely. Wherefore
the (b) children of this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of light.
(*) God, who doeth here represent the master of
the house, doeth rather commend the prodigal
waste of his goods, and the liberal giving of the
same to the poor, than the strait keeping and
hording of them.
(a) This parable doth not approve the steward's
naughty dealing, for it was very theft; but parables
are set forth, to shew a thing in a covertly, and as
it were, under a figure to represent the truth,
though it agree not thoroughly with the matter
itself; so that Christ meaneth by this parable to
teach us, that worldly men are more heady in the
affairs of this world, than the children of God are
careful for everlasting life.
(b) Men that are given to this present life,
contrary to whom the children of light are set;
Paul calleth those spiritual, and the other carnal.
9 And I say unto you, Make you friends (*) with
the riches (c) of iniquity, that when ye shall
want, they may receive you into everlasting (d)
habitations.
(*) That is, either wickedly gotten or wickedly
kept, or wickedly spent; and hereby we be
warned to suspect riches which for the most part
are an occasion to their possessors of great
wickedness.
(c) This is not spoken of goods that are evil
gotten, for God will have our bountifulness to the
poor, proceed and come from a good fountain,
but he calleth those riches of iniquity, which men
use naughtily.
(d) To wit, the poor Christians; for they are the
inheritors of these Tabernacles, Theophylact.
10 (2) He that is faithful in the least, he is also
faithful in much; and he that is unjust in the least,
is unjust also in much.
(2) We ought to take heed that for abusing our
earthly function and duty, we be not deprived of
heavenly gifts; for how can they use spiritual gifts
aright, who abuse worldly things?
11 If then ye have not been faithful in (*) the
wicked riches, who will trust you in the (e) true
treasure?
(*) They which can not well bestow our worldly
goods, will bestow evil spiritual treasures and
therefore they ought not to be committed unto
them.
(e) That is, heavenly and true riches; which are
contrary to worldly and flitting substance.
12 And if ye have not been faithful in (f) (*)
another man's goods, who shall give you that
which is () yours?
(f) In worldly goods, which are called other
men's, because they are committed to our credit.
(*) As are riches and such like things, which God
hath given not for ourselves only, but to bestow
upon others.
() Christ calleth the gifts which he giveth unto us,
ours.
13 (*) (3) No servant can serve two masters; for
either he shall hate the one, and love the other, or
else he shall lean to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.
(*) Matthew 6:24 .
(3) No man can love God and riches together.
14 All these things heard the Pharisees also which
were covetous, and they (*) scoffed at him.
(*) Because they judged no man happy, but those
that were rich.
15 (4) Then he said unto them, Ye are they, which
(*) justify yourselves before men, but God
knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly
esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight
of God.
(4) Our sins are not hidden to God, although they
be hidden to men, yea although they be hidden to
them whose sins they are.
(*) Which love outward appearance, and vain
glory.
16 (*) (5) The Law and the Prophets endured
until John; and since that time the kingdom of God
is preached, and every man () presseth into it.
(*) Matthew 11:12 .
(5) The Pharisees despised the excellency of the
new Covenant, in respect of the old, being ignorant
of the perfect righteousness of the Law, and how
false expounders they were of the Law, Christ
declareth by the seventh Commandment.
() Their zeal is so inflamed, that they follow the
Gospel without respect of worldly things.
17 (*) Now it is more easy that heaven and earth
should pass away, than that one title of the Law
should fall.
(*) Matthew 5:18 .
18 ¶ (*) Whosoever putteth away his wife, and
marrieth another, committeth adultery, and

Public Acts of Simony
From :
Fifty Years in the Church of Rome
By CHARLES CHINIQUY
http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/index.html
Chapter 56. . .Public Acts of Simony
http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/cc50_ch56.html
I had, many times, considered the infamy and
injustice of the law which the bishops have had passed
all over the United States, making every one of them
a corporation, with the right of possessing personally
all the church properties of the Roman Catholics.
But I had never understood the infamy and tyranny
of that law so clearly as in that hour. It is impossible
to describe with ink and paper the air of pride and
contempt with which the bishop really in substance,
if not in words, told me: "All those things are mine. I
do what I please with them, you must be mute and
silent when I take them away from you. It is against
God Himself that you rebel when you refuse me the
right of dispossessing you of all those properties
which you have purchased with your own money,
and which have not cost me a cent!" In that moment
I felt that the law which makes every bishop the
only master and proprietor of all the religious goods,
houses, churches, lands and money of their people
as Catholics, is simply diabolical: and that the church
which sanctions such a law, is antichristian. Though
it was at the risk and peril of everything dear to me,
that I should openly protest against that unjust law,
there was no help; I felt constrained to do so with all
the energy I possessed.
I answered: "My lord, I confess that this is the law in
the United States; but this is a human law, directly
opposed to the Gospel. I do not find a single word in
the Gospel which gives this power to the bishop.
Such a power is an abusive, not a divine power,
which will sooner or later destroy our holy church in
the United States, as it has already mortally wounded
her in Great Britain, in France and in many other
places. When Christ said, in the Holy Gospel, that He
has not enough of ground whereon to lay His head,
He condemned, in advance, the pretensions of the
bishops who lay their hands on our church properties
as their own. Such a claim is an usurpation and not a
right, my lord. Our Saviour Jesus Christ protested
against that usurpation, when asked by a young man
to meddle in his temporal affairs with his brothers; He
answered that 'He had not received such power.' The
Gospel is a long protest against that usurpation, in
every page, it tells us that the kingdom of Christ is
not of this world.

The blessings of his chiefest bliss
From :
The Geneva Bible
New Testament ,
The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To Luke Chapter 15
1 The parable of the lost sheep.
8 Of the groat.
12 And of the prodigal son.
1 Then (*) resorted unto (1) him (a) all the
Publicans and sinners, to hear him.
(*) Or, drew near.
(1) We must not despair of them, which have
gone out of the way, but according to the example
of Christ, we must take great pains about them.
(a) Some Publicans and sinners came to Christ
from all quarters.
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 (*) What man of you having a hundred sheep, if
he lose one of them, doeth not leave ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is
lost, until he find it?
(*) Matthew 18:12 .
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.
(*) Which justify themselves, and know not their
own faults.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver,
if she lose one piece, doeth 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 piece 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 ¶ (2) He said moreover, A certain man had
two sons.
(2) Men by their voluntary falling from God,
having spoiled themselves of the benefits which
they received of him, cast themselves headlong
into infinite calamities; but God of his singular
goodness, offering himself freely to them, whom
he called to repentance, through the greatness of
their misery wherewith they were tamed, doeth
not only gently receive them, but also enricheth
them with far greater gifts, and blesseth them
with the chiefest bliss.
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.
(*) This declareth that we ought not to desire to
have our portion separate from God except we
will lose all.
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.
(*) The Greek word signifieth, so to waste all that
a man reserveth nothing to himself.
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.
(*) For no man had pity upon him.
17 (3) Then he came to himself, and said, How
many hired servants at my father's have bread
enough, and I die for hunger?
(3) The beginning of repentance is the
acknowledging of the mercy of God, which
stirreth us to hope well.
18 I will rise and go to my father, and say unto
him, Father, I have sinned against (b) heaven, and
before thee.
(b) Against God, because he is said to dwell in
heaven.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son;
make me as one of thy 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.
(*) God preventeth us and heareth our groanings
before we cry to him.
21 (4) 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.
(4) In true repentance there is a settling of our
sins joined with sorrow and shame, from whence
springeth a confession, after which followeth
forgiveness.
(*) He was touched with the feeling of his sin and
therefore was ashamed thereof, and heavy in
heart.
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 (5) Now the (*) elder brother was in the field,
and when he came and drew near to the house,
he heard melody, and dancing,
(5) Such as truly fear God, desire to have all men
to be their fellows.
(*) God reproveth the envy of such as grudge
when God receiveth sinners to mercy.
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 fatted 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 fatted 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.
(*) Thy part, which are a Jew, is nothing
diminished by that which Christ was also killed for
the Gentiles; for he accepteth not the person but
feedeth indifferently all them that believe in him,
with his body and blood to life everlasting.

The Geneva Bible
New Testament ,
The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To Luke Chapter 15
1 The parable of the lost sheep.
8 Of the groat.
12 And of the prodigal son.
1 Then (*) resorted unto (1) him (a) all the
Publicans and sinners, to hear him.
(*) Or, drew near.
(1) We must not despair of them, which have
gone out of the way, but according to the example
of Christ, we must take great pains about them.
(a) Some Publicans and sinners came to Christ
from all quarters.
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 (*) What man of you having a hundred sheep, if
he lose one of them, doeth not leave ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is
lost, until he find it?
(*) Matthew 18:12 .
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.
(*) Which justify themselves, and know not their
own faults.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver,
if she lose one piece, doeth 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 piece 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 ¶ (2) He said moreover, A certain man had
two sons.
(2) Men by their voluntary falling from God,
having spoiled themselves of the benefits which
they received of him, cast themselves headlong
into infinite calamities; but God of his singular
goodness, offering himself freely to them, whom
he called to repentance, through the greatness of
their misery wherewith they were tamed, doeth
not only gently receive them, but also enricheth
them with far greater gifts, and blesseth them
with the chiefest bliss.
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.
(*) This declareth that we ought not to desire to
have our portion separate from God except we
will lose all.
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.
(*) The Greek word signifieth, so to waste all that
a man reserveth nothing to himself.
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.
(*) For no man had pity upon him.
17 (3) Then he came to himself, and said, How
many hired servants at my father's have bread
enough, and I die for hunger?
(3) The beginning of repentance is the
acknowledging of the mercy of God, which
stirreth us to hope well.
18 I will rise and go to my father, and say unto
him, Father, I have sinned against (b) heaven, and
before thee.
(b) Against God, because he is said to dwell in
heaven.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son;
make me as one of thy 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.
(*) God preventeth us and heareth our groanings
before we cry to him.
21 (4) 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.
(4) In true repentance there is a settling of our
sins joined with sorrow and shame, from whence
springeth a confession, after which followeth
forgiveness.
(*) He was touched with the feeling of his sin and
therefore was ashamed thereof, and heavy in
heart.
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 (5) Now the (*) elder brother was in the field,
and when he came and drew near to the house,
he heard melody, and dancing,
(5) Such as truly fear God, desire to have all men
to be their fellows.
(*) God reproveth the envy of such as grudge
when God receiveth sinners to mercy.
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 fatted 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 fatted 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.
(*) Thy part, which are a Jew, is nothing
diminished by that which Christ was also killed for
the Gentiles; for he accepteth not the person but
feedeth indifferently all them that believe in him,
with his body and blood to life everlasting.
