Luke 15:1-10
One day when many tax collectors and other outcasts came to listen to
Jesus, 2 the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law started grumbling,
“This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them!” 3 So Jesus told
them this parable:
4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of
them—what do you do? You leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the
pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it. 5 When
you find it, you are so happy that you put it on your shoulders 6 and carry
it back home. Then you call your friends and neighbors together and say
to them, ‘I am so happy I found my lost sheep. Let us celebrate!’ 7 In the
same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who
repents than over ninety-nine respectable people who do not need to
repent.
8 “Or suppose a woman who has ten silver coins loses one of
them—what does she do? She lights a lamp, sweeps her house, and
looks carefully everywhere until she finds it. 9 When she finds it, she calls
her friends and neighbors together, and says to them, ‘I am so happy I
found the coin I lost. Let us celebrate!’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, the
angels of God rejoice over one sinner who repents.
