Matthew 18:10-14

Tree of Life Version

Parable of the Lost Sheep

¹⁰ “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father in heaven. (¹¹ )^[a]

¹² “What do you think? If a certain man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go looking for the one that is straying? ¹³ And if he finds it, amen I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t stray. ¹⁴ Even so, it’s not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.”
