Luke 15:6

The Parable Of The Lost Sheep

⁵ And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing; ⁶  And, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbors together, and says 'Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' ⁷ So, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one outcast that repents, than over ninety-nine religious men, who have no need to repent.
