Matthew 18:10-12

Contemporary English Version

The Lost Sheep

(Luke 15.3-7)

^10-11 (A) Don't be cruel to any of these little ones! I promise you their angels are always with my Father in heaven.^{[a] 12} Let me ask you this. What would you do if you had 100 sheep and one of them wandered off? Wouldn't you leave the 99 on the hillside and go look for the one that had wandered away?
