LUKE 15:6 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–7: Jesus told a parable about a man looking for his lost sheep

In Luke 15 Jesus welcomed sinful people, and many listened to him. However, the Pharisees criticized Jesus for welcoming people like that. Then Jesus told the three parables in this chapter. Each parable tells about something that was lost and the joy of the one who found it. The things that were lost represent sinful people. They need help to be restored to God. The parables illustrate that God feels great joy when even one sinful person repents and is restored to a good relationship with him. In the Notes each parable will be described in a separate section.

The parable in this section is about a sheep that went away from its shepherd. The sheep did not know how to find the shepherd again. When the shepherd noticed that this one sheep was missing, he searched for it diligently until he found it. He then invited his friends and neighbors to rejoice with him that he had found the lost sheep. Another heading for this section is:

The Lost Sheep (GW)

A shepherd was happy to find his lost sheep

There is a parallel passage for this section in Matthew 18:12–14. However, the context and some of the details are different.

15:6a

comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors

to take it home. Then you^(plur) will go to your friends and those living nearby,
and carries it home. Then he invites his friends and neighbors to come to his house,

and calls together his friends and neighbors: This clause indicates that he invites his friends and neighbors to come to his house, probably for a feast or celebration.

neighbors: The Greek word that the BSB translates as neighbors refers to the people who lived nearby.

15:6b

to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

and you^(plur) will say to them, ‘Come and be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that strayed away!’
saying, ‘Let’s^(incl) celebrate! I have found my missing sheep.’”

to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’: In some languages it may be more natural to use indirect speech and to say:

…and he will invite them to rejoice with him, because he has found his missing sheep.

to tell them: The Greek word that the BSB translates as to tell them is literally “saying.” It introduces what the shepherd said to his friends and neighbors. He may have said this as his invitation to them or in addition to other words of invitation.

Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!: The Greek text connects these two clauses with a conjunction that is often translated as “because.” The shepherd had found his sheep, and that was the reason why he wanted to rejoice:

Rejoice with me for/because I have found my lost sheep.

In some languages it may be necessary to reverse the order of the two clauses:

I have found my lost sheep! So come, rejoice with me!

Rejoice with: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Rejoice with means “be happy with” or “be glad with.”
