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.
