18:10 Finding the lost sheep

(Luke 15:3-7)

10 “Make sure that you all don’t despise any of these small ones, because I’m telling you all that their messengers in the heavens are always in front of my father who is in the heavens.

11 ◘[fn] 12 “What do you think about this: a man had a hundred sheep and one of them strayed away. Won’t he leave the ninety-nine there in the hills and go and look for the sheep that was missing? 13 And if he happens to find it, I can assure you that he’ll be happier about that one than about the ninety-nine who never strayed away. 14 In the same way, your father in the heavens doesn’t want even one of these small ones to perish.

18:11 Some Greek manuscripts add in the text of Luke 19:10 here: XXX

10 Be _seeing you _all _may_ not _despise of _one of_ the these _little ones, because/for I _am _saying to _you _all that the messengers of _them in the_heavens, through everything are _seeing the face of _the father of _me, who is in the_heavens.
11  12 What is _it _supposing to _you _all?
If it _may _become to_a_certain man a_hundred sheep, and one of them may _be _strayed, not, having _left the ninety nine on the mountains and having _been _gone, is _seeking the sheep being _strayed?
13 And if he _may _become to _find it, truly, I _am _saying to _you _all that he _is _rejoicing over it more than over the ninety nine which not having _been _strayed.
14 Thus is not the_will before the father of _you _all, who is in the_heavens, that may _perish one of_ the these _little ones.
