Matthew 18:10-14

International Children’s Bible

A Lost Sheep

¹⁰ “Be careful. Don’t think these little children are worth nothing. I tell you that they have angels in heaven who are always with my Father in heaven. ¹¹ [The Son of Man came to save lost people.]^[a]

¹² “If a man has 100 sheep, but 1 of the sheep gets lost, he will leave the other 99 sheep on the hill. He will go to look for the lost sheep. ¹³ And if he finds it, he is happier about that 1 sheep than about the 99 that were never lost. I tell you the truth. ¹⁴ In the same way, your Father in heaven does not want any of these little children to be lost.
