Luke 15:8-10

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8 Or what woman who has ten silver coins ^[a] and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?

9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

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