Matthew 18:12-14
12 What do you think?(A) If a man has 100 sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the 99 on the hillside and go and search for the stray?(B)
13 And if he finds it, I assure you: He rejoices over that sheep(a) more than over the 99 that did not go astray.
14 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
