Matthew 18:12-14

Christian Standard Bible

¹² What do you think?^(A) If someone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go and search for the stray?^{(B) 13} And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over that sheep^[a] more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. ¹⁴ In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
