Matthew 18:10-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Don’t Look Down On These Little Ones. God Does Not Want One of Them Lost
10 “See that you do not look-down-upon[a] one of these little ones. For I say to you that their angels in the heavens are continually seeing[b] the face of My Father in the heavens. 11 [c] 12 What seems right to you? If a hundred sheep belong to any man and one of them went-astray, will he not leave the ninety nine on the mountains, and having gone, be seeking the one going astray?
