The Parable of the Lost Sheep

(Luke 15:1–7)

10 See [that] you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven.[fn] 11 

12 What {do} you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the [one] that is lost? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over [that one sheep] than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. 14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
