Matthew 18:10-14

New Century Version

A Lost Sheep

¹⁰ “Be careful. Don’t think these little children are worth nothing. I tell you that they have angels in heaven who are always with my Father in heaven. [ ¹¹ The Son of Man came to save lost people.]^[a]

¹² “If a man has a hundred sheep but one of the sheep gets lost, he will leave the other ninety-nine on the hill and go to look for the lost sheep. ¹³ I tell you the truth, if he finds it he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that were never lost. ¹⁴ In the same way, your Father in heaven does not want any of these little children to be lost.
