Luke:15:1-7
rsv@Luke:15:1 @ Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.
rsv@Luke:15:2 @ And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."
rsv@Luke:15:3 @ So he told them this parable:
rsv@Luke:15:4 @ "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it?
rsv@Luke:15:5 @ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
rsv@Luke:15:6 @ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'
rsv@Luke:15:7 @ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
