The Parable of the Lost Sheep
1 Then aall the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man1 receives sinners aand eats with them.”
3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
4 a“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, a‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep bwhich was lost!’
7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents athan over ninety-nine just persons who bneed no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver1 coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’
