For the Son of Man came to save the lost."

I have wandered away like a lost sheep; come find your servant, for I do not forget your commands. A Song of Ascents

All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, each of us, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

My people have become lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them toward the mountains. They go from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.

My sheep have gone wandering on all of the mountains, on all of the hills, and throughout every high place in the whole world, with no one to look for them or go out in search of them.

So he told them this parable:

You were "like sheep that kept going astray," but now you have returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
