Luke
15
1
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming to hear him.
2
But the Pharisees and the experts in the law were complaining, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
3
So Jesus told them this parable:
4
"Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go look for the one that is lost until he finds it?
5
Then when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6
Returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, telling them, 'Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.'
7
I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need to repent.
8
"Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?
9
Then when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.'
10
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."
