Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10 “See that you don’t look down on one of these little ones,(A) because I tell you that in heaven their angels(B) continually view the face of My Father in heaven.(C) [11 For the Son of Man(D) has come to save the lost.][a] 12 What do you think?(E) If a man has 100 sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the 99 on the hillside and go and search for the stray?(F) 13 And if he finds it, I assure you: He rejoices over that sheep[b] more than over the 99 that did not go astray. 14 In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

If a certain man has[b] a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go and[c] look for the one that wandered away? 13 And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not wander away. 14 In the same way it is not the will of[d] your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
