Matthew 18:11

(omitted, text not found in early manuscripts)

The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

When he heard it, he said: People who are well do not have need of a physician. The sick do.

He said: Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

He answered: I was sent only to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel.

They went to another village.

My son was dead. Now he is alive. He was lost. Now he has been found. The feasting began.'

We had to celebrate and be happy. Your brother was dead. Now he is alive! He was lost and now he has been found!'

God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world. Instead the world should be saved through him.

The thief comes to steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

If any man hears my sayings and does not obey them I will not judge him. I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Faithful is the saying, and worthy of acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost.
