["For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost."] "What think ye? If a hundred sheep belong to a certain man, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety and nine on the mountains, and, going, seek the straying one? And, if it happen that he find it, verily I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety and nine that have not gone astray. read more.

In like manner it is not the will of your Father Who is in Heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
And He spake to them this parable, saying, "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and losing one of them, does not leave behind the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one, until he finds it? And, finding it, he places it upon his shoulders, rejoicing: read more.
and, coming to his house, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep, which was lost. I say to you, that so there will be joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance. "Or what woman, having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently, till she finds it? And, having found it, she calls together her female friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me; because I found the piece which I lost!' So, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents." And He said, "A certain man had two sons. And the younger said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of the estate that falls to me.' And he divided to them his living. And, not many days after, gathering all things together, the younger son went abroad into a far country, and there wasted his estate, living riotously. And, when he spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. And, going his way, he attached himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he was longing to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and no one was giving to him. But, coming to himself, he said, 'How many hired servants of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I am perishing here with hunger! Arising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I sinned against Heaven, and before you; I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.' And, arising, he came to his father. But, while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion; and, running, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much. And the son said to the father, 'Father, I sinned against Heaven, and before you; no longer am I worthy to be called your son!' But the father said to his servants, 'Quickly bring forth a robe, the best, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet; and bring ye the fatted calf, kill it; and, eating, let us be merry; because this my son was dead, and came to life again; had been lost, and was found.' And they began to be merry. "Now his elder son was in a field; and as, in coming, he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And, calling to him one of the young men, he inquired of him, what these things might be. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come; and your father killed the fatted calf, because he received him in sound health.' But he was angry, and was not willing to go in; but his father, coming out, kept entreating him. But he, answering, said to his father, 'Behold, so many years do I serve you; and, at no time, did I transgress a command of yours; and you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. But, when your son??his one who devoured your living with harlots??ame, you killed for him the fatted calf!' And he said to him, 'Child, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours' But it was meet to make merry, and rejoice; because this your brother was dead, and came to life again; and had been lost, and was found."

And Jesus said to him, "To-day salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which is lost."
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one who believes on Him should not perish, but have eternal life; for God sent not His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him.
And Jesus cried, and said, "He who believes on Me, believes not on Me, but on Him Who sent Me; and he that beholds Me, beholds Him Who sent Me. I have come a light into the world, that every one who believes on Me may not abide in the darkness. read more.
