Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, \u201cThis man receives sinners and eats with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

So he told them this parable: \u201cWhat 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? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, \u201d\u02dcRejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, \u201d\u02dcRejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.\u2019 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.\u201d<\/p>\n

–Luke 15:1-10<\/p>\n
