I will feed them in right good pastures, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their folds be. There shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed: even upon the mountains of Israel. I will feed my sheep myself, and bring them to their rest, sayeth the LORD God. Such as be lost, will I seek; such as go astray, will I bring again; such as be wounded, will I bind up; such as be weak, will I make strong; such as be fat and well liking, those will I preserve and feed them with the thing that is lawful.

Yea, and the son of man is come to save that which is lost. How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them should be gone astray, doth he not leave ninety and nine in the mountains, and go and seek that one which is gone astray?

And as soon as he cometh home he calleth together his lovers, and neighbours saying unto them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Either, what woman having ten groats, if she lose one, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently, till she find it?

And not long after, the younger son gathered all that he had together, and took his journey into a far country, and there he wasted his goods with riotous living. And when he had spent all that he had, there rose a great dearth throughout all that same land. And he began to lack. And he went, and clave to a citizen of that same country, which sent him to his field, to keep his swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the cods, that the swine ate: and no man gave him. Then he came to himself and said, 'How many hired servants at my father's have bread enough, and I die for hunger. I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.'

And Jesus said to him, "This day is health come unto this house, forasmuch as he also is become the child of Abraham. For the son of man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost."
Wherefore, he ran before, and climbed up into a wild fig tree to see him. For he should come that same way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, "Zach, come down at once: for today I must abide at thy house." And hastily he came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw that, they all grudged saying, "He is gone in to tarry with a man that is a sinner." And Zacchaeus stood forth and said unto the Lord, "Behold Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have done any man wrong, I will restore him four fold." And Jesus said to him, "This day is health come unto this house, forasmuch as he also is become the child of Abraham. For the son of man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost."
