“If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.”
Matthew 18:13 (WEB)
Context Reading
11For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. 12“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray? 13If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish. 15“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
