The Parable of the Lost Sheep

Luke 15:1-7

And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him,

and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying--This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

And he spake unto them this simile, saying,

`What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it?

and having found, he doth lay it on his shoulders rejoicing,

and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep--the lost one.

`I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.
