¹¹ who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:

¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering.

³² But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive `again'; and `was' lost, and is found.

¹⁰ Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do.

¹² They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:

¹⁰ who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

¹ But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

² Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.

³⁰ And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

²⁴ for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
