Matthew 18:10-14
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that (A)their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven. 11 [a][(B)For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
12 “What do you think? (C)If any man has one hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? 13 And if it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. 14 In this way, it is not the will [b]of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10 “Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven.[a](A) 12 What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. 14 So it is not the will of your[b] Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.
