rkjnt@Luke:15:3 @ And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
rkjnt@Luke:15:4 @ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
rkjnt@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
rkjnt@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
rkjnt@Luke:15:7 @ I say to you, that likewise there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who do not need to repent.
