Luke 15:8-10

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8 Or what woman who has ten drachmas, if she loses one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds [it]?
9 And [when she] has found [it], she calls together [her] friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, because I have found the drachma that I had lost!'
10 In the [same] way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
