nkjv - Luke:15:1-7

nkjv@Luke:15:1 @ Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.

nkjv@Luke:15:2 @ And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them."

nkjv@Luke:15:3 @ So He spoke this parable to them, saying:

nkjv@Luke:15:4 @ "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

nkjv@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

nkjv@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

nkjv@Luke:15:7 @ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
