Matthew 18:11-14

11 [ "¹For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

Ninety-nine Plus One

12 "What do you think? ²If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine * on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying?

13 "If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine * which have not gone astray.

14 "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish.
