Luke 15:1-7
Now the
tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the
Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats
with them.”
3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having
a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in
the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And
when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he
comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them,
‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell
you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over
ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."
