Jesus Christ » Parables of » The lost sheep
And he spoke to them this parable; saying, What man of you having a hundred sheep, and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost sheep till he finds it. And finding it, he puts it on his shoulders rejoicing; read more.
and coming to the house, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying, Congratulate me; for I have found my sheep that was lost. So, I tell you, there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that changes his mind, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need a change of mind.

What think you? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them is lost, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain, and go and seek for the lost one? And if he finds it, I tell you truly that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which were not lost. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
