The Lost Sheep
| 12 | How think ye? if a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? |
| 13 | And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. |
| 14 | Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. |
| 3 | And he spake this parable unto them, saying, |
| 4 | What man of you, having a 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 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 over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. |
