The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10 “See to it that you don’t despise 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.[a](C) 12 What do you think?(D) If someone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go and search for the stray?(E) 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over that sheep[b] more than over the ninety-nine 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
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. 14 So (F)it is not the will of my[b] Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
