Luke:15:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him .
*
And the Pharisees and scribes were grumbling ,
saying , "
This man receives sinners and eats with them ."
*
And He told them this parable ,
saying :
*
What man of you ,
having a hundred sheep ,
and loses one of them ,
does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness ,
and goes after the one having been lost until he finds it ?
*
And having found it ,
he puts [
it ]
on his own shoulders ,
rejoicing .
*
And coming into the house ,
he calls together his friends and neighbors ,
saying to them , '
Rejoice with me ,
for I have found my sheep which was lost !'
*
I say to you that likewise [
there ]
shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting than over ninety-nine righteous who need no repentance .
