1 And all the publicans and sinners were drawing nigh to Him to hear Him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes were murmuring, saying, that, He receives sinners, and eats with them. 3 And He spoke this parable to them, saying, 4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go after the lost one, until he may find it? 5 And having found it, places it on his shoulders, rejoicing: 6 and having come into the house, calls together the friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you that so there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, rather than ninety and nine just persons who have not need of repentance. Luke 15:1-7, Godbey New Testament. Public domain.
