3And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4dWhat man of you, having an hundred sheep, eif he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine fin the wilderness, and ggo after that which is lost, until he find it? 5And when he hath found it, hhe layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found imy sheep which was lost. 7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine kjust persons which need no repentance.

8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of lthe angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Read in Logos
Luke 15:7: Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
