Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were coming to pass, and was utterly at a loss, because of its being said, by some, that, John, had been raised from the dead;

For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it; but, whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same, shall save it?

For what doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?

What man from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it?

and, coming unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto them - Rejoice with me! because I have found my sheep that was lost!

Or, what woman, having, ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, until she find it?

And, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying - Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.

Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.

But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother - was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.

Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it,

But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.

For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
