Luke 15: 3-7 NAS
So He told them this
parable, saying, "What
man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does
not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which
is lost until he finds it? 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, 'Rejoice with me, for I have
found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that in the same way,
there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents then over the
ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."
