Matthew 18:11-13

New International Reader's Version

The Story of the Wandering Sheep

^10-11 “See that you don’t look down on one of these little ones. Here is what I tell you. Their angels in heaven are always with my Father who is in heaven.

¹² “What do you think? Suppose a man owns 100 sheep and one of them wanders away. Won’t he leave the 99 sheep on the hills? Won’t he go and look for the one that wandered off? ¹³ What I’m about to tell you is true. If he finds that sheep, he is happier about the one than about the 99 that didn’t wander off.
