Luke 15:1-5 ▼

1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near Jesus to listen to Him.

2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes began to complain, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”

3 And so He told them this parable, saying,

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

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