Matthew 18:10-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ “Be careful not to despise these little ones. I can guarantee that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father, who is in heaven.^[a]

The Lost Sheep^(A)

¹² “What do you think? Suppose a man has 100 sheep and one of them strays. Won’t he leave the 99 sheep in the hills to look for the one that has strayed? ¹³ I can guarantee this truth: If he finds it, he is happier about it than about the 99 that have not strayed. ¹⁴ In the same way, your Father in heaven does not want one of these little ones to be lost.
