========================
Luke 15:1-7
========================
1Now the tax collectors and
sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus.
2But the Pharisees and the
teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3Then Jesus told them this
parable:
4“Suppose one of you has a
hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the
open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
5And when he finds it, he
joyfully puts it on his shoulders
6and goes home. Then he calls
his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my
lost sheep.’
7I tell you that in the same
way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than
over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
