Luke 15:4-7

New American Standard Bible

⁴ “^(A)What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the other ninety-nine in the ^[a]open pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he puts 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, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’ ⁷ I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
