ECB(i)
2 and the Pharisees and scribes murmur, wording, This one awaits sinners and eats with them.
3 And he words this parable to them, speaking,
4 What human of you, having a hundred sheep, and loses one of them, leaves not the ninety-nine in the wilderness and goes after the lost, until he finds it?
5 And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders, cheering:
6 and when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, wording to them, Rejoice with me; for I found my sheep - the lost.
7 I word to you, that likewise cheer becomes in the heavens over one sinner who repents - more than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
