Luke:15:4 @
What man of you ,
having a hundred sheep ,
if one of them gets loose and goes away ,
will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves ,
and go after the wandering one ,
till he sees where it is ?

he takes it in his arms with joy .

And when he gets back to his house ,
he sends for his neighbours and friends ,
saying to them ,
Be glad with me ,
for I have got back my sheep which had gone away .

than for ninety-nine good men ,
who have no need of a change of heart .
