    4What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?

    5And when he finds it, he joyfully places it on his shoulders.

    6And coming home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.'

    7I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

    8Or what woman, who has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?

    9And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'

    10In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

    11Then He said, 'There was a man who had two sons.'

    12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided the property between them.

    13Not long after, the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in reckless living.

    14After he had spent everything, a severe famine arose throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

    15So he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

    16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

    17But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but here I am dying from hunger!

    18I will rise up and go to my father and say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

    11For the Son of Man came to save what was lost.

    12What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go to look for the one that wandered away?

    13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not wander away.

    14In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that any of these little ones should perish.
