3 And he spake this parable unto them saying
4 "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it he layeth it on his shoulders , rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours saying unto them, ' rejoice with me for I have found my sheep which was lost.'
7 I say unto you , that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth more than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance."

New International Version*

3 Then Jesus told them this parable
4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and looses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
5 And when he finds it , he joyfully puts it on his shoulders
6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says 'rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep '
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
