Matthew 18:10-13

English Standard Version

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

¹⁰ “See that you do not despise ^(A)one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven ^(B)their angels always ^(C)see the face of my Father who is in heaven.^{[a] 12 (D)}What do you think? ^(E)If a man 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 say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.
