Luke 15:8
Compare all
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!’
10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
