Finding the lost sheep

Mat 18:10–14

Luke 15:3–7

18:10 Finding the lost sheep

(Luke 15:3-7)

10Make 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] 12What 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? 13And 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. 14In 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

3So Yeshua told them this parable:

4If you had a hundred sheep and one of them went missing, which of you wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine there in the wilderness and go and search for the missing sheep until you found it? 5And once you found it, you would carry it home on your shoulders feeling very happy. 6When you got back to the house, surely you’d call your friends and neighbours and tell them, ‘Come and celebrate with me because I found my lost sheep.’ 7I’m telling you all that there’s similar celebration in heaven when one person turns from their disobedience and obeys God—more than over ninety-nine guiltless people who have no need to change.
