^16 (A)I will seek the lost, ^(B)and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and ^(C)the fat and the strong I will destroy.^[a] I will feed them in justice.

¹⁰ For ^(A)the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

^4 (A)“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, ^(B)if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine ^(C)in the open country, and ^(D)go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, ^(E)he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for ^(F)I have found my sheep that was lost.’ ⁷ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who ^(G)repents than over ninety-nine ^(H)righteous persons who need no repentance.

³¹ And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. ^32 (A)I have not come to call the righteous ^(B)but sinners ^(C)to repentance.”
