Context Readings

The Lost Sheep

13 And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you, that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray. 14 So, it is not a purpose before your Father in the heavens, that one of these little ones should perish. 15 But if thy brother should sin against thee, go and reprove him between thee and him alone. If he should hear thee, thou have gained thy brother.
