Luke 15:3-10

Godbey(i) 3 And He spoke this parable to them, saying, 4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go after the lost one, until he may find it? 5 And having found it, places it on his shoulders, rejoicing: 6 and having come into the house, calls together the friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep which was lost. 7 I say unto you that so there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, rather than ninety and nine just persons who have not need of repentance. 8 Or what woman having ten drachmae, if she may lose one drachma, does she not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she may find it? 9 And having found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I have found the drachma which I lost. 10 So, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
