[For the Son of Man has come to save the lost.]

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.”

But when He heard this, He said, “Those who are well don’t need a doctor, but the sick do.

and they went to another village.

because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

If anyone hears My words and doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them.
