Luke 15:4-7

New King James Version

^4 (A)“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. ⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ^(B)‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep ^(C)which was lost!’ ⁷ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents ^(D)than over ninety-nine ^[a]just persons who ^(E)need no repentance.
