Luke 15:8-10

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8 "Or what woman who has 10 silver coins, ^[a] if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?

9 When she finds it, she calls her women friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, because I have found the silver coin I lost!'

10 I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents."
