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

    5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

    6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

    7I say to you, that likewise there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

    8Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?

    9And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I lost.

    12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his livelihood.

    13And not many days after, the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey to a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

    16And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the pigs ate: and no one gave him anything.

    17And when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough to spare, and I perish with hunger!

    18I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

    11For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

    12What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that has gone astray?

    13And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.

    14Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
