1
All the tax collectors and sinners were approaching to listen to him.
2
And the Pharisees and scribes were complaining, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3
So he told them this parable:
4
“What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5
When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6
and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep!’
7
I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who don’t need repentance.”
