Matthew 18:10-14
New International Version
The Parable of the Wandering Sheep(A)
10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels(B) in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. [11] [a]
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

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.
