42:015:004 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 42:015:005 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 42:015:006 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 42:015:007 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 42:015:008 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 42:015:009 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 42:015:010 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. 42:015:011 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 42:015:012 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.
